We use an information-theoretic approach to interpret Engle's (1982) and Bollerslev's (1986) GARCH model as a model for the motion in time of the expected conditional second power moment. This interpretation is used to show how these models may be generalized, if we use alternative measures of...

This paper provides empirical evidence that jumps in the underlying stock price process are superfluous for European option pricing in time changed L évy models. We introduce a model with a.s. continuous sample paths and a parsimonious description in terms of free parameters. The conducted in-...

Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) processes have become very popular as models for financial return data because they are able to capture volatility clustering as well as leptokurtic unconditional distributions which result from the assumption of conditionally...
