This paper examines the ability of several different continuous-time one- and two-factor jump-diffusion models to capture the dynamics of the VIX volatility index for the period between 1990 and 2010. For the one-factor models we study affine and non-affine specifications, possibly augmented...

We study the exposure of the US corporate bond returns to liquidity shocks of stocks and Treasury bonds over the period 1973–2007 in a regime-switching model. In one regime, liquidity shocks have mostly insignificant effects on bond prices, whereas in another regime, a rise in illiquidity...

We apply Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to time series data on S&P 500 index returns, and to its option prices via a term structure of VIX indices, to estimate 18 different affine and non-affine stochastic volatility models with one or two variance factors, and where jumps are allowed in both...

We study the empirical performance of the classical minimum-variance hedging strategy, comparing several econometric …-variance hedging models, especially those based on GARCH, generate much greater margin and transaction costs than the naïve hedge …. Therefore we encourage hedgers to use a naïve hedging strategy on the crack spread bundles now offered by the exchange; this …
