This study uses an agent-based test bed (“AMES”)to investigate separation and volatility of locational marginalprices (LMPs) in an ISO-managed restructured wholesale powermarket operating over an AC transmission grid. Particular attentionis focused on the dynamic and cross-sectional response...

This thesis presents our study on using the hybrid stochastic-local volatility model for option pricing. Many researchers have demonstrated that stochastic volatility models cannot capture the whole volatility surface accurately, although the model parameters have been calibrated to replicate...

In this paper, we present our study on using the hybrid stochastic-local volatility (SLV) model for option pricing. The SLV model contains a stochastic volatility component represented by a volatility process and a local volatility component represented by a so-called leverage function. The...

Under the background of the electronic security trading platform Xetra operated by Frankfurt Stock Exchange, we consider the Xetra auction market system (XAMS) from 'bottom-up', which the interaction among heterogeneous traders and Xetra auction market mechanism generates non-equilibrium price...

In this paper, we present our study on a hybrid stochastic volatility model incorporating local volatility for pricing options in the foreign exchange (FX) market. The hybrid stochastic-local volatility model (SLV) could match the implied volatility surface well and meanwhile shows the...

In this paper, we present our research on pricing window barrier options under a hybrid stochastic-local volatility (SLV) model in the foreign exchange (FX) market. Due to the hybrid effect of the local volatility and stochastic volatility components of the model, the SLV model can reproduce the...

We perform a historical analysis of selected rough volatility models to the SPX market. Tailoring the neural network pricing method of [27] to our needs, we train neural networks for the rough Heston model from [14], the rough Bergomi model from [4] as well as an extended version of the latter....

We study the mass at the origin in the uncorrelated SABR stochastic volatility model, and derive several tractable expressions, in particular when time becomes small or large. As an application -- in fact the original motivation for this paper -- we derive small-strike expansions for the implied...

We suggest a new way of setting up multifactor models with hidden variables. We claim that the standard initial condition, which assigns some fixed value to the stochastic volatility subprocess, is illogical and greatly underestimates the effect of the hidden variable. For instance, a stochastic...

In this paper we examine the Heston model in the limit of infinitely fast mean-reversion for the stochastic volatility process (CIR). We show that, under an appropriate scaling of the model parameters, the two-factor stochastic volatility Heston model can be exactly mapped to a one-factor...
