A new structural stochastic volatility model of asset pricing and its stylized facts
Building on a prominent agent-based model, we present a new structural stochastic volatility asset pricing model of fundamentalists vs. chartists where the prices are determined based on excess demand. Specifically, this allows for modelling stochastic interactions between agents, based on a herding process corrected by a price misalignment, and incorporating strong noise components in the agents' demand. The model's parameters are estimated using the method of simulated moments, where the moments reflect the basic properties of the daily returns of a stock market index. In addition, for the first time we apply a (parametric) bootstrap method in a setting where the switching between strategies is modelled using a discrete choice approach. As we demonstrate, the resulting dynamics replicate a rich set of the stylized facts of the daily financial data including: heavy tails, volatility clustering, long memory in absolute returns, as well as the absence of autocorrelation in raw returns, volatility-volume correlations, aggregate Gaussianity, concave price impact and extreme price events.

Volatility swaps valuation under stochastic volatility with jumps and stochastic intensity
In this paper, a pricing formula for volatility swaps is delivered when the underlying asset follows the stochastic volatility model with jumps and stochastic intensity. By using Feynman-Kac theorem, a partial integral d…
The microstructural foundations of leverage effect and rough volatility
We show that typical behaviors of market participants at the high frequency scale generate leverage effect and rough volatility. To do so, we build a simple microscopic model for the price of an asset based on Hawkes pro…
Multiple Subordinated Modeling of Asset Returns
Subordination is an often used stochastic process in modeling asset prices. Subordinated Levy price processes and local volatility price processes are now the main tools in modern dynamic asset pricing theory. In this pa…
On the optimal choice of strike conventions in exchange option pricing
An important but rarely-addressed option pricing question is how to choose appropriate strikes for implied volatility inputs when pricing more exotic multi-asset derivatives. By means of Malliavin Calculus we construct a…
Pricing timer options and variance derivatives with closed-form partial transform under the 3/2 model
Most of the empirical studies on stochastic volatility dynamics favor the 3/2 specification over the square-root (CIR) process in the Heston model. In the context of option pricing, the 3/2 stochastic volatility model is…
