We develop a simple robust test for the presence of continuous and discontinuous (jump) components in the price of an asset underlying an option. Our test examines the prices of at-the-money and out-of-the-money options as the option maturity approaches zero. We show that these prices converge...

This paper introduces a multivariate pure-jump Lévy process which allows for skewness and excess kurtosis of single asset returns and for asymptotic tail dependence in the multivariate setting. It is termed Variance Compound Gamma (VCG). The novelty of my approach is that, by applying a...

Stocks are exposed to the risk of sudden downward jumps. Additionally, a crash in one stock (or index) can increase the …, i.e. the time span between jumps in two stocks or stock indices, is thus of first-order importance when analyzing …

Tests for shift detection in locally-stationary autoregressive time series are constructed which resist contamination by a substantial amount of outliers. Tests based on a comparison of local medians standardized by a highly robust estimate of the variability show reliable performance in a broad...

Much research has investigated the differences between option implied volatilities and econometric model-based forecasts. Implied volatility is a market determined forecast, in contrast to model-based forecasts that employ some degree of smoothing of past volatility to generate forecasts....

This paper analyses the informational role of the trading activity when jumps occur in the US Treasury market. As jumps … mark the arrival of new information to the market, we explore the contribution of jumps in reducing the informational … asymmetry. We identify jumps using a combination of jump detection techniques. For all maturities, the trading activity is more …
