actively traded VIX options. Under the model, the evolution of future VIX is completely determined by the volatility function … of forward VIX squared normalized by VIX futures prices. A general volatility function with one- to three-factor models … general volatility function that incorporates mean-reversion and hump effects to test two multifactor models, (iii) finding …

volatility surface. The rapid development of the CDS market has provided convenient products to extract credit risk, and its … interaction with equity volatility has been analyzed in many studies. However, in most of them the 5-year credit default swap … spread is used to measure credit risk, whilst the at-the-money 1-month implied volatility is used to measure equity …

We study the pricing of contracts in fixed income markets in the presence of volatility uncertainty. We consider an … arbitrage-free bond market under volatility uncertainty. The uncertainty about the volatility is modeled by a G-Brownian motion … traditional models with the highest and lowest possible volatility. Due to these pricing formulas, the model naturally exhibits …

We develop a discrete-time stochastic volatility option pricing model, which exploits the information contained in high …-frequency data. The Realized Volatility (RV) is used as a proxy of the unobservable log-returns volatility. We model its dynamics by … competing time-varying (i.e. GARCH-type) and stochastic volatility pricing models. The pricing improvement can be ascribed to …

common belief, the auction prices for gas storage are mostly affected by the volatility of current market prices rather than … with the volatility of the spot market. This is an intuitive result because storage capacity can serve as an effective …

In a tractable stochastic volatility model, we identify the price of the smile as the price of the unspanned risks … traded in SPX option markets. The price of the smile reflects two persistent volatility and skewness risks, which imply a …-form and structural models of stochastic volatility …

The Heston model is one of the most popular stochastic volatility models for Equity and FX modelling. Although it was …
