We introduce an affine extension of the Heston model where the instantaneous variance process contains a jump part driven by αα-stable processes with α(1,2]α\in(1,2]. In this framework, we examine the implied volatility and its asymptotic behaviors for both asset and variance options. Furthermore, we examine the jump clus…

The volatility of financial instruments is rarely constant, and usually varies over time. This creates a phenomenon called volatility clustering, where large price movements on one day are followed by similarly large movements on successive days, creating temporal clusters. The GARCH model, which treats volatility as a…

News might trigger jump arrivals in financial time series. The "bad" and "good" news seems to have distinct impact.

We quantify how co-jumps impact correlations in currency markets. To disentangle the continuous part of quadratic covariation from co-jumps, and study the influence of co-jumps on correlations, we propose a new wavelet-based estimator. The proposed estimation framework is able to localize the co-jumps very precisely th…
