An analysis of the impact of the FX volatility skew on the PRDC swaps …' prices is presented, showing that the FX volatility skew results in lower prices (i.e. profits) for the payer of PRDC coupons …

This paper tests the expectations hypothesis of the term structure of implied volatility for several national stock … market indexes. The tests indicate that the slope of at-the-money implied volatility over different maturities has predictive … ability for future short-dated implied volatility, although not to the extent predicted by the expectations hypothesis. The …

This paper examines the cross-dynamics of volatility term structures implied by foreign exchange options. The data used … common factors can explain a vast proportion of the variation in volatility term structures across currencies. Furthermore …, the results indicate that the euro is the dominant currency, as the implied volatility term structure of the euro is found …

In this paper we examine the empirical performance of affine jump diffusion models with stochastic volatility in a time … method. The support for a stochastic volatility model including jumps in both prices and volatility is strong and the model …

We calculate the social cost of carbon (SCC) under stochastic climate volatility resulting from uncertainty about … climate volatility risks substantially increase the SCC both in the business-as-usual and optimal abatement policy scenario … more frequent disasters for equal expected value. Overall we show that stochastic volatility has a major impact on the SCC. …
