The goal of our paper is to show how correlation between convenience yield and commodity spot price must be and can be … (Casassus and Collin-Dufresne, 2005) and/or stochastic volatility (Nielsen and Schwartz, 2004; Richter and Sørensen, 2006 …; Koekebakker and Lien, 2004) in addition to stochastic correlation. Indeed, Cuchiero et al. (2011) derive necessary and sufficient …

driven by the same Brownian motion it is frequently assumed that the log correlation between these assets is perfect over an … arbitrary interval. Our paper proves that the log correlation over is not perfect and we calculate the correct correlation for … correlation can lead to significant erroneous results …

Geometric optimisation algorithms are developed that efficiently find the nearest low-rank correlation matrix. We show … nearest low-rank correlation matrix occurs as part of the calibration of multi-factor interest rate market models to … correlation.

An example for a volatility process is the square root of a Lévy-driven Ornstein …-Uhlenbeck process. We show that jumps in the volatility translate into jumps in credit spreads.
