Estimating Correlated Jumps and Stochastic Volatilities
نویسنده
چکیده
We formulate a bivariate stochastic volatility jump-diffusion model with correlated jumps and volatilities. An MCMC Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm is proposed to estimate the model’s parameters and latent state variables (jumps and stochastic volatilities) given observed returns. The methodology is successfully tested on several artificially generated bivariate time series and then on the two most important Czech domestic financial market time series of the FX (CZK/EUR) and stock (PX index) returns. Four bivariate models with and without jumps and/or stochastic volatility are compared using the deviance information criterion (DIC) confirming importance of incorporation of jumps and stochastic volatility into the model.

Jump Starting GARCH: Pricing and Hedging Options with Jumps in Returns and Volatilities
This paper considers the pricing of options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in asset returns and volatilities. Our model nests Duan’s GARCH option model, as well as generalized versions of Merton’s model where jump risk is priced. Empirical analysis on the S&P 500 index reveals that the incorporation of jumps in returns and volatilities adds significantly to the ...
متن کاملTesting for uncorrelation or for a functional relationship between price and volatility jumps
Many continuous-time stochastic volatility models exhibit certain functional relationships between jumps in the price and volatility. These relations allow for the construction of tests and, hence, to test these models for high-frequency data. We present such tests in a fairly general context and derive some of their properties. We investigate their behavior in a simulation study. Finally we ap...
متن کاملOption Valuation with Jumps in Returns and Volatility
We price options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in returns and volatilities. A limiting case of our GARCH process consists of a model where both asset returns and local volatility follow jump diffusion processes with correlated jump sizes. When the jump processes are shut down our model reduces to Duan’s (1995) GARCH option model; when the stochastic volatility ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Analysis of Stock Price Densities and Implied Volatilities in Mixed Stochastic Models
In this paper, we obtain sharp asymptotic formulas with error estimates for the Mellin convolution of functions defined on (0,∞) and use these formulas to characterize the asymptotic behavior of marginal distribution densities of stock price processes in mixed stochastic models. Special examples of mixed models are jump-diffusion models and stochastic volatility models with jumps. We apply our ...
متن کاملJump Starting GARCH: Pricing Options with Jumps in Returns and Volatilities
This paper considers the pricing of options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in asset returns and volatilities. Our model nests Duan’s GARCH option models where conditional returns are constrained to being normal, as well as extends Merton’s jump-diffusion model by allowing return volatility to exhibit GARCH-like behavior. Empirical analysis on the S&P 500 index r...
