This paper compares the ability of the log periodic power law (LPPL) procedure and the supremum augmented Dickey Fuller (supremum ADF) tests to confirm or reject the presence of bubbles in various time series simulations. We develop a time stamping method for the LPPL procedure and derive a more...

In this paper, we propose a general data-driven framework that unifies the valuation and risk measurement of financial derivatives, which is especially useful in markets with thinly-traded derivatives. We first extract the empirical characteristic function from market-observable time series for...
