In this paper we derive a closed form approximation to a stochastic volatility option-pricing model and propose a variant of EGARCH for parameter estimation. The model thereby provides a consistent approach to the problem of option pricing and parameter estimation. Using Swedish stocks, the...

By combining standardised calculation methods for total noise levels and monetary estimates from well-established evaluation methods, this study outlines a model to estimate the short-run marginal cost (SRMC) for road and railway noise that is able to differentiate not only modes of transport,...
