The paper studies the continuous-time dynamics of VIX with stochastic volatility and jumps in VIX and volatility. Built on the general parametric affine model with stochastic volatility and jump in logarithm of VIX, we derive a linear relation between the stochastic volatility factor and VVIX index. We detect the exist…

Instabilities in the price dynamics of a large number of financial assets are a clear sign of systemic events. By investigating a set of 20 high cap stocks traded at the Italian Stock Exchange, we find that there is a large number of high frequency cojumps. We show that the dynamics of these jumps is described neither …

We propose a model for hedging in a market with jumps for a large investor. The dynamics of the stock prices and the value process is governed by forward-backward SDEs driven by Teugels martingales. Unlike known FBSDE market models, ours accounts for jumps in stock prices. Moreover, it allows to find an optimal hedging…
