Multi-scaling of moments in stochastic volatility models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a class of stochastic volatility models (Xt)t≥0 for which the absolute moments of the increments exhibit anomalous scaling: E (|Xt+h −Xt|) scales as hq/2 for q < q∗, but as hA(q) with A(q) < q/2 for q > q∗, for some threshold q∗. This multi-scaling phenomenon is observed in time series of financial assets. If the dynamics of the volatility is given by a mean-reverting equation driven by a Levy subordinator and the characteristic measure of the Levy process has power law tails, then multi-scaling occurs if and only if the mean reversion is superlinear.

Financial Power Laws: Empirical Evidence, Models, and Mechanism
Financial markets (share markets, foreign exchange markets and others) are all characterized by a number of universal power laws. The most prominent example is the ubiquitous finding of a robust, approximately cubic power law characterizing the distribution of large returns. A similarly robust feature is long-range dependence in volatility (i.e., hyperbolic decline of its autocorrelation functi...
متن کاملEconometric Analysis of Jump-Driven Stochastic Volatility Models
This paper introduces and studies the econometric properties of a general new class of models, which I refer to as jump-driven stochastic volatility models, in which the volatility is a moving average of past jumps. I focus attention on two particular semiparametric classes of jump-driven stochastic volatility models. In the first the price has a continuous component with time-varying volatilit...
متن کاملSimulating Exchange Rate Volatility in Iran Using Stochastic Differential Equations
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the exchange rate volatility in Iran in the time period between 2011/11/27 and 2017/02/25 on a daily basis. As a tradable asset and as an important and effective economic variable, exchange rate plays a decisive role in the economy of a country. In a successful economic management, the modeling and prediction of the exchange rate volatility is esse...
متن کاملMoments Structure of -Stochastic Volatility Models
We consider Taylor’s stochastic volatility model when the innovations of the hidden log-volatility process have a Laplace distribution (`1 exponential density), rather than the standard Gaussian distribution (`2) usually employed. Using a distribution with heavier tails allows better modeling of the abrupt changes of regime observed in financial time series. We derive here the moments and autoc...

The use of GARCH models to characterize crude oil price volatility is widely observed in the empirical literature. In this paper the efficiency of six univariate GARCH models and two methods of estimation the parameters for forecasting oil price volatility are examined and the best method for forecasting crude oil price volatility of Brent market is determined. All the examined models in this p...
