The increasing availability of financial market data at intraday frequencies has not only led to the development of improved volatility measurements but has also inspired research into their potential value as an information source for volatility forecasting. In this paper we explore the...

In this paper we aim to measure actual volatility within a model-based framework using high-frequency data. In the empirical finance literature it is known that tick-by-tick prices are subject to market micro-structure such as bid-ask bounces and trade information. Such market micro-structure...

Background: This study develops a new model called J-am for pricing American options and for determining the related early exercise boundary (EEB). This model is based on a closed-form solution J-formula for pricing European options, defined in the study by Jerbi (Quantitative Finance,...
