This paper considers a multivariate t version of the Gaussian dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model proposed by Engle (2002), and suggests the use of devolatized returns computed as returns standardized by realized volatilities rather than by GARCH type volatility estimates. The t-DCC...

Households that contemplate moving to different cities or trading up/down in the future are exposed to substantial housing risk. In order to mitigate this risk, we derive optimal portfolios using CME housing futures. Housing investment risk is hedged by selling housing futures amounting to the...

This paper shows that generalizing the heterogeneous autoregressive model (HAR) with realized (co)variances and semi-(co)variances from the index leads to more accurate volatility forecasts. To circumvent the effects of the market microstructure noise arising from using high sampling...

This article develops a Hedging Algebraic Model (HAM) for equity index portfolios with stock index futures as an alternative to econometric models (OLS, ECM, and GARCH) and assesses the efficacy of the model when applied to the IBEX 35 for the period 2007-2015. The model is initially formulated...

Banks must manage their trading books, not just value them. Pricing includes valuation adjustments collectively known as XVA (at least credit, funding, capital and tax), so management must also include XVA. In trading book management we focus on pricing, hedging, and allocation of prices or...

Chains of the CME Group Time and Sales E-mini S&P 500 futures tick prices and their a-b-c-d-increments are studied. A discrete probability distribution based on the Hurwitz Zeta function and Dirichlet series is suggested for the price increments. The randomness of the ticks is discussed using...

We propose a novel time-changed L évy LIBOR market model for the joint pricing of caps and swaptions. The time changes are split into three components. The first component allows us to match the volatility term structure, the second generates stochastic volatility, and the third one...

This paper provides a brief overview of the stochastic modeling of variance swap curves. Focus is on affine factor models. We propose a novel drift parametrization which assures that the components of the state process can be matched with any pre-speci fied points on the variance swap curve....
