The Mixing Approach to Stochastic Volatility
نویسنده
چکیده
This article introduces mixing theorems, which offer both a theoretical and computational approach to certain advanced option models. Before explaining them, we first review a little background about option pricing theory. The Black-Scholes-Merton family of models is a wellknown and sensible starting framework for understanding option prices. The framework relies on the assumption that the underlying stock price (or security price) follows a process known as geometric Brownian motion (GBM). This model has some very strong points in its favor: (i) it’s consistent with stocks as limited liability securities (and so the prices never fall below zero), (ii) it has uncorrelated returns, which are a compelling consequence of highly efficient markets with strong statistical support over many time scales, and (iii) it’s very tractable computationally.

Modeling Stock Return Volatility Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Nonlinear State Space Models: Case of Tehran Stock Market
Volatility is a measure of uncertainty that plays a central role in financial theory, risk management, and pricing authority. Turbulence is the conditional variance of changes in asset prices that is not directly observable and is considered a hidden variable that is indirectly calculated using some approximations. To do this, two general approaches are presented in the literature of financial ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Expansion for Stochastic Processes: an Overview and Examples
The aim of this article is to give an overview of the developments in the theory of the asymptotic expansion for stochastic processes of continuous time. Today we know two typical methods of asymptotic expansion: the martingale approach and the mixing approach. These methods are complementary to each other. The martingale approach was found first and applied to derive an asymptotic expansion fo...

متن کاملMixing Conditions for Multivariate Infinitely Divisible Processes with an Application to Mixed Moving Averages and the supOU Stochastic Volatility Model
We consider strictly stationary infinitely divisible processes and first extend the mixing conditions given in Maruyama [18] and Rosiński and Żak [23] from the univariate to the d-dimensional case. Thereafter, we show that multivariate Lévy-driven mixed moving average processes satisfy these conditions and hence a wide range of well-known processes such as superpositions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (...

متن کاملNonlinear Features of Realized Fx Volatility
This paper investigates nonlinear features of FX volatility dynamics using estimates of daily volatility based on the sum of intraday squared returns. Measurement errors associated with using realized volatility to estimate ex post latent volatility imply that standard time series models of the conditional variance become variants of an ARMAXmodel. We explore nonlinear departures from these lin...
