We consider the popular Heston model, reparametrize its variance swap price formula and … model the entire variance swap curves by two exponential factors whose loadings evolve dynamically on a weekly basis …. Generalizing this approach we consider a reparametrization of the three-dimensional Nelson-Siegel factor model. We show that these …

We investigate the evolution of health over the life-cycle. We allow for two sources of persistence: unobserved heterogeneity and state dependence. Estimation indicates that there is a large degree of heterogeneity. For half the population, there are modest degrees of state dependence...
