Pricing Derivatives Securities with Prior Information on Long- Memory Volatility
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the existence of long memory in the volatility of the Mexican stock market. We use a stochastic volatility (SV) model to derive statistical test for changes in volatility. In this case, estimation is carried out through the Kalman filter (KF) and the improved quasi-maximum likelihood (IQML). We also test for both persistence and long memory by using a long-memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) model, constructed by including an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) process in a stochastic volatility scheme. Under this framework, we work up maximum likelihood spectral estimators and bootstraped confidence intervals. In the light of the empirical findings, we develop a Bayesian model for pricing derivative securities with prior information on long-memory volatility.

Hedging Volatility Risk
Volatility derivatives are becoming increasingly popular as means for hedging unexpected changes in volatility. Although pricing volatility derivatives demands extreme care in modeling the underlying volatility process, not much attention has been devoted to the complete specification of the autonomous process that volatility follows in continuous time. Despite the fact that jumps are widely co...

The main parameter required in pricing of derivative securities is the volatility of the underlying security. This may typically be estimated from historical prices or as implied volatility from derivative prices. It is however not clear how to estimate the volatility of the underlying securities over a given sample period, say six months. In this paper we propose an estimation technique in sta...

We present a model for pricing and hedging derivative securities and option portfolios in an environment where the volatility is not known precisely, but is assumed instead to lie between two extreme values min and max. These bounds could be inferred from extreme values of the implied volatilities of liquid options, or from high-low peaks in historical stock-or option-implied volatilities. They...
