-varying volatility of the data generating process can have rather adverse effects when inferring about its persistence; e.g. unit root … conditional heteroskedasticity). The paper explores the influence of time-varying volatility on fractionally integrated processes …. Concretely, we discuss how to model long memory in the presence of time-varying volatility, and analyze the effects of such …

As an illustration of … the formalism, we show that when the underlying asset price changes at constant volatility (standard deviation), the … offer a parameterization of the volatility smile with a closed-form expression using pre-calculated tables.
