  • Stochastic Volatility and Stochastic leverage
    Annals of Finance, 2010
    Co-Authors: Almut E. D. Veraart, Luitgard A. M. Veraart
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes the new concept of Stochastic leverage in Stochastic Volatility models. Stochastic leverage refers to a Stochastic process which replaces the classical constant correlation parameter between the asset return and the Stochastic Volatility process. We provide a systematic treatment of Stochastic leverage and propose to model the Stochastic leverage effect explicitly, e.g. by means of a linear transformation of a Jacobi process. Such models are both analytically tractable and allow for a direct economic interpretation. In particular, we propose two new Stochastic Volatility models which allow for a Stochastic leverage effect: the generalised Heston model and the generalised Barndorff-Nielsen & Shephard model. We investigate the impact of a Stochastic leverage effect in the risk neutral world by focusing on implied volatilities generated by option prices derived from our new models. Furthermore, we give a detailed account on statistical properties of the new models.

  • Stochastic Volatility of Volatility in Continuous Time
    SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ole E. Barndorff-nielsen, Almut E. D. Veraart
    Abstract:

    This paper introduces the concept of Stochastic Volatility of Volatility in continuous time and, hence, extends standard Stochastic Volatility (SV) models to allow for an additional source of randomness associated with greater variability in the data. We discuss how Stochastic Volatility of Volatility can be defined both non–parametrically, where we link it to the quadratic variation of the Stochastic variance process, and parametrically, where we propose two new SV models which allow for Stochastic Volatility of Volatility. In addition, we show that Volatility of Volatility can be estimated by a novel estimator called pre–estimated spot variance based realised variance.

  • derivative pricing with wishart multivariate Stochastic Volatility
    Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Christian Gouriéroux, Razvan Sufana
    Abstract:

    This paper deals with the pricing of derivatives written on several underlying assets or factors satisfying a multivariate model with Wishart Stochastic Volatility matrix. This multivariate Stochastic Volatility model leads to a closed-form solution for the conditional Laplace transform, and quasi-explicit solutions for derivative prices written on more than one asset or underlying factor. Two examples are presented: (i) a multiasset extension of the Stochastic Volatility model introduced by Heston (1993), and (ii) a model for credit risk analysis that extends the model of Merton (1974) to a framework with Stochastic firm liability, Stochastic Volatility, and several firms. A bivariate version of the Stochastic Volatility model is estimated using stock prices and moment conditions derived from the joint unconditional Laplace transform of the stock returns.
