In this paper, we extend the parametric, asymmetric, stochastic volatility model (ASV), where returns are correlated … with volatility, by flexibly modeling the bivariate distribution of the return and volatility innovations nonparametrically …. Its novelty is in modeling the joint, conditional, return-volatility distribution with an infinite mixture of bivariate …

When analysing the volatility related to high frequency financial data, mostly non-parametric approaches based on … stochastic volatility. Estimation of the model delivers measures of daily variation outperforming their non …

In this paper, I study the drop of real GDP volatility which has been observed in the United States during the postwar …

volatility models including long memory and leverage effects. We compute the price by applying a present value scheme as well as … the Black-Scholes and Hull-White formulas which includes stochastic volatility. We find that long memory as well as …

The Heston model stands out from the class of stochastic volatility (SV) models mainly for two reasons. Firstly, the … process for the volatility is nonnegative and mean-reverting, which is what we observe in the markets. Secondly, there exists …

In this paper, we review the most common specifications of discrete-time stochastic volatility (SV) models and …

capturing interest rate risk. The so-called Stochastic Volatility Nelson-Siegel (SVNS) model allows for stochastic volatility in … evidence for time-varying volatility in the yield factors. This is mostly true for the level and slope volatility revealing … also the highest persistence. It turns out that the inclusion of stochastic volatility improves the model's goodness …

Estimation of the volatility of time series has taken off since the introduction of the GARCH and stochastic volatility … models. While variants of the GARCH model are applied in scores of articles, use of the stochastic volatility model is less … unobserved stochastic volatility, and the varying approaches that have been taken for such estimation. In order to simplify the …
