We determine the minimal entropy martingale measure for a general class of stochastic volatility models where both price process and volatility process contain jump terms which are correlated. This generalizes previous studies which have treated either the geometric Lévy case or continuous...

Following the increasing awareness of the risk from volatility fluctuations, the market for hedging contracts written on realized volatility has surged. Companies looking for means to secure against unexpected accumulation of market activity can find over-the-counter products written on...

We analyze the specifications of option pricing models based on time- changed Levy processes. We classify option pricing models based on the structure of the jump component in the underlying return process, the source of stochastic volatility, and the specification of the volatility process...

This article analyzes the specifications of option pricing models based on time-changed Levy processes. We classify option pricing models based on (i) the structure of the jump component in the underlying return process, (ii) the source of stochastic volatility, and (iii) the specification of...

The paper builds a Variance-Gamma (VG) model with five parameters: location (μ), symmetry (δ), volatility (σ), shape (»), and scale (θ); and studies its application to the pricing of European options. The results of our analysis show that the five-parameter VG model is a stochastic...

The paper builds a Variance-Gamma (VG) model with five parameters: location (μ), symmetry (δ), volatility (σ), shape (α), and scale (θ); and studies its application to the pricing of European options. The results of our analysis show that the five-parameter VG model is a stochastic...
