This paper discusses the generalized Black-Scholes-Merton model, where the volatility coefficient, the drift … that the volatility, the drift, and the interest rate depend on a gamma or inverse-gamma random variable. This model …

Managing unemployment is one of the key issues in social policies. Unemployment insurance schemes are designed to cushion the financial and morale blow of loss of job but also to encourage the unemployed to seek new jobs more proactively due to the continuous reduction of benefit payments. In...

We present a unified, market-complete model that integrates both Bachelier and Black- Scholes-Merton frameworks for asset pricing. The model allows for the study, within a unified framework, of asset pricing in a natural world that experiences the possibility of negative security prices or...

We propose a fully data-driven approach to calibrate local stochastic volatility (LSV) models, circumventing in … particular the ad hoc interpolation of the volatility surface. To achieve this, we parametrize the leverage function by a family … be seen in the context of neural SDEs and (causal) generative adversarial networks: we generate volatility surfaces by …

We investigate the state dependence of the variance of the instantaneous variance of the S&P 500 index empirically. Time-series analysis of realized variance over a 20-year period shows strong evidence of an elasticity of variance of the variance parameter close to that of a log-normal model,...

This paper studies the effect of variance swap in hedging volatility risk under the mean-variance criterion. We … consider two mean-variance portfolio selection problems under Heston's stochastic volatility model. In the first problem, the … variance swap can be used to hedge against the volatility risk. In the second problem, only the bank account and the stock can …
