It is a widely recognized fact that risk-reversals play a central role in the pricing of derivatives in foreign exchange markets. It is also known that the values of risk-reversals vary stochastically with time. In this paper we introduce a stochastic volatility model with jumps and local...

A Markov chain with an expanding non-uniform grid matching risk neutral marginal distributions is constructed. Conditional distributions of the chain are in the variance gamma class with prespecified skewness and excess kurtosis. Time change and space scale volatilities are calibrated from...
