Integrating Volatility Clustering into Exponential Lévy Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a class of stock models that interpolates between exponential Lévy models based on Brownian subordination and certain stochastic volatility models with Lévydriven volatility, such as the Barndorff-Nielsen–Shephard model. The driving process in our model is a Brownian motion subordinated to a business time which is obtained by convolution of a Lévy subordinator with a deterministic kernel. We motivate several choices of the kernel that lead to volatility clusters while maintaining the sudden extreme movements of the stock. Moreover, we discuss some statistical and path properties of the models, prove absence of arbitrage and incompleteness, and explain how to price vanilla options by simulation and fast Fourier transform methods.

The Small-maturity Implied Volatility Slope for Lévy Models
We consider the at-the-money strike derivative of implied volatility as the maturity tends to zero. Our main results quantify the growth of the slope for infinite activity exponential Lévy models. As auxiliary results, we obtain the limiting values of short maturity digital call options, using Mellin transform asymptotics. Finally, we discuss when the at-the-money slope is consistent with the s...
متن کاملStatistical estimation of Lévy-type stochastic volatility models
Abstract: Volatility clustering and leverage are two of the most prominent features of the dynamics of asset prices. In order to incorporate these features as well as the typical fat-tails of the log return distributions, several types of exponential Lévy models driven by random clocks have been proposed in the literature, providing with a viable alternative to the classical stochastic volatili...
متن کاملUsing Exponential Lévy Models to Study Implied Volatility patterns for Electricity Options
German electricity European options on futures using Lévy processes for the underlying asset are examined. Implied volatility evolution, under each of the considered models, is discussed after calibrating for the Merton jump diffusion (MJD), variance gamma (VG), normal inverse Gaussian (NIG), Carr, Geman, Madan and Yor (CGMY) and the Black and Scholes (B&S) model. Implied volatility is examined...
متن کاملImplied volatility: small time-to-expiry asymptotics in exponential Lévy models
In this paper, we examine the small time-to-expiry behaviour of implied volatility in models of exponential Lévy type. In the at-the-money case, it turns out that the implied volatility converges, as time-to-expiry goes to zero, to the square root of the Gaussian member of the driving Lévy process’ characteristic triplet. In particular, the limit is zero if the Lévy process has no Gaussian part...
متن کاملImplied volatility explosions: European calls and implied volatilities close to expiry in exponential Lévy models
We examine the small expiry behaviour of the price of call options in models of exponential Lévy type. In most cases of interest, it turns out that E ( (Sτ −K) ) − (S0 −K) ∼ { τ ∫ R (S0e x −K)+ ν(dx), S0 < K, τ ∫ R (K − S0e) ν(dx), S0 > K, as τ → 0+, i.e. as time to expiry goes to zero. (We have written ν for the Lévy measure of the driving Lévy noise.) In “complete generality”, however, we can...
