W-shaped implied volatility curves in a variance-gamma mixture model
In liquid option markets, W-shaped implied volatility curves have occasionally be observed. We show that such shapes can be reproduced in a mixture of two variance-gamma models. This is in contrast to lognormal models, where at least three different distributions have to be mixed in order to produce a W-shape, as recently shown by Glasserman and Pirjol.
