We develop a new parametric estimation procedure for option panels observed with error which relies on asymptotic approximations assuming an ever increasing set of observed option prices in the moneyness- maturity (cross-sectional) dimension, but with a fixed time span. We develop consistent...

A novel closed-form pricing formula for short-maturity options is employed to jointly identifyequity characteristics (spot volatility, spot leverage, and spot volatility of volatility) which havebeen the focus of large, but separate, strands of the literature. Interpreting equity as a call...

We develop a discrete-time stochastic volatility option pricing model, which exploits the information contained in high-frequency data. The Realized Volatility (RV) is used as a proxy of the unobservable log-returns volatility. We model its dynamics by a simple but effective (pseudo) long memory...
