In this paper we derive the locally risk-minimizing hedging for a general contingent claim in an incomplete market via the generalized Clark-Ocone formula. Using this result in a stochastic volatility model, we study its connection with the hedge obtained via PDE approach. We see these hedging...

In this paper we propose a novel flexible framework based on time changed Lévy process for the joint evolution of stock log-returns and their volatility with the aim of analysing which risk factors and which distribution features provide a robust calibration, repricing and hedging performance....

A new method to retrieve the risk-neutral probability measure from observed option prices is developed and a closed form pricing formula for European options is obtained by employing a modified Gram-Charlier series expansion, known as the Gauss-Hermite expansion. This expansion converges for...
