In this paper we aim to measure actual volatility within a model-based framework using high-frequency data. In the empirical finance literature it is known that tick-by-tick prices are subject to market micro-structure such as bid-ask bounces and trade information. Such market micro-structure...

In this paper we propose a new multivariate GARCH model with time-varying conditional correlation structure. The approach adopted here is based on the decomposition of the covariances into correlations and standard deviations. The time-varying conditional correlations change smoothly between two...

Theoretical research on option valuation tends to focus on pricing the plain-vanilla European-style derivatives. Duffie, Pan, and Singleton (Econometrica, 2000) have recently developed a general transform method to determine the value of European options for a broad class of the underlying price...
