Integrated OU processes and non-Gaussian OU-based stochastic volatility models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the detailed distributional properties of integrated non-Gaussian OU (intOU) processes. Both exact and approximate results are given. We emphasise the study of the tail behaviour of the intOU process. Our results have many potential applications in financial economics, for OU processes are used as models of instantaneous volatility in stochastic volatility (SV) models. In this case an intOU process can be regarded as a model of integrated volatility. Hence the tail behaviour of the intOU process will determine the tail behaviour of returns generated by SV models.

Econometric analysis of realised volatility and its use in estimating Lévy based non-Gaussian OU type stochastic volatility models
The availability of intra-day data on the prices of speculative assets means that we can use quadratic variation like measures of activity in financial markets, called realised volatility, to study the stochastic properties of returns. Here we provide a statistical basis for realised volatility and show how it can be used to estimate the parameters of stochastic volatility models. Models covere...
متن کاملIndirect inference methods for stochastic volatility models based on non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes
This paper aims to develop new methods for statistical inference in a class of stochastic volatility models for financial data based on non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes. Our approach uses indirect inference methods: First, a quasi-likelihood for the actual data is estimated. This quasi-likelihood is based on an approximative Gaussian state space representation of the OUbased model...
متن کاملNormal modified stable processes
This paper discusses two classes of distributions, and stochastic processes derived from them: modified stable (MS) laws and normal modified stable (NMS) laws. This extends corresponding results for the generalised inverse Gaussian (GIG) and generalised hyperbolic (GH) or normal generalised inverse Gaussian (NGIG) laws. The wider framework thus established provides, in particular, for added fle...

Alternative models A number of discussants have pointed clearly to alternative models which share features, such as second order properties, with our OU based volatility models. We mentioned in our paper some diffusion based alternatives and these are highlighted in the comments by Valentine Genon-Catalot and Catherine Larédo; Eric Renault; Nour Meddahi. These diffusion alternatives are general...

In recent years there have been many proposals as flexible alternatives to Gaussian based continuous time stochastic volatility models. A great deal of these models employ positive Lévy processes. Among these are the attractive non-Gaussian positive Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes proposed by Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (BNS) in a series of papers. One current problem of these approaches i...
