Abstract:

In this masterthesis I have rewied basic approaches to volatility estimating. These approaches are based on classical and Bayesian statistics. I have applied the volatility models for the purpose of volatility forecasting of a different foreign exchange (EURUSD, GBPUSD and CZKEUR) in the different period (from a second period to a day period). I formulate the models EWMA, GARCH, EGARCH, IGARCH, GJRGARCH, jump diffuison with constant volatility and jump diffusion model with stochastic volatility. I also proposed an MCMC algorithm in order to estimate the Bayesian models. All the models we estim

Abstract:

The thesis describes and applies two parametric option pricing models which partially ease the well-known discrepancy between real world and Black-Scholes model. Stochastic volatility and jumps encompassed by Heston and SVJ models explain implied volatility smile and its heterogeneous term-structure. Both models are calibrated to market data observed for EURUSD currency options on January 23, 2015. While SVJ model provided a better fit for the market, especially for mid-term expiry smile curvature, its estimated risk-neutral parameters were unrealistic comparing with their counterparts under s

This thesis empirically investigates diﬀerent aspects of time-varying volatility.

We propose an ad-hoc estimation methodology that is shown to outperform both standard approaches and competing models. Chapter 2 focuses on tracking dynamic connectedness between US sectoral volatilities using Generalized Forecast Error Variance Decompositions with a Bayesian model. As opposed to estimates obtained with rolling windows, we allow parameters to vary in a more ﬂexible way

Assignment (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Volatilty was originally seen to be constant and deterministic, but it was later realised that return series are non-stationary. Owing to this non-stationarity nature of returns, there were no reliable ex-post volatility measurements. Subsequently, researchers focussed on ex-ante volatility models. It was only then realised that before good volatility models can be created, reliable ex-post volatility measuremetns need to be defined.

Abstract:

In this thesis, we propose a new and simple approach of extending the single-factor Heston stochastic volatility model to a more flexible one in solving option pricing problems. In this approach, the volatility process for the underlying asset dynamics depends on the time to maturity of the option. As this idea is inspired by the Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework which models the evolution of the full dynamics of forward rate curves for various maturities, we name this approach as the HJM-type stochastic volatility (HJM-SV) model. We conduct an empirical analysis by calibrating this model to rea

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the calibration of affine stochastic volatility models with jumps. This class of models encompasses most models used in practice and captures some of the common features of market data such as jumps and heavy tail distributions of returns. Two questions arise when one wants to calibrate such a model: (a) How to check its theoretical consistency with the relevant market characteristics? (b) How to calibrate it rigorously to market data, in particular to the so-called implied volatility, which is a normalised measure of option prices? These two questions form the ba

Each of these connections is achieved by layer, between a group of SInsV coefficients and set of (static and dynamic) SImpV differentials. The asymptot

A profit or loss (P&L) of a dynamically hedged option depends on the implied volatility used to price the option and implement the hedges. Break-even volatility is a method of solving for the volatility which yields no profit or loss based on replicating the hedging procedure of an option on a historical share price time series. This dissertation investigates the traditional break-even volatility method on simulated data, how the break-even formula is derived and details the implementation with reference to MATLAB.

We propose a method of testing the information content of option-implied risk-neutral moments prior to volatility-changing events.

We derived the density function for the stochastic element of the interest rate process and reduced this density function to a series form.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 145-150).<br>This thesis consists of three empirical essays on different aspects of macroeconomic volatility. The first essay provides evidence of a causal and economically important relation between financial development and macroeconomic volatility by looking at the effect of financial development in the volatility of sectors with different liquidity needs. The results show that sectors with high liquidity needs are relatively more volatile in financially underdevelope

Abstract:

Inflation volatility is one of the key constituents of inflation dynamics and has not received much attention in the literature. The study of inflation volatility is important because it has adverse economic consequences. This thesis aims to study the determinants of inflation volatility for advanced and developing countries. At the outset, I explore the empirical regularities of inflation volatility based on monthly and quarterly CPI inflation data (1968 to 2011) using time and frequency domain analysis. I establish a stylised fact that inflation is significantly more volatile in developing c

Abstract:

This dissertation makes three different contributions to the literature on financial development. Firstly, it examines the role of institutions in the relationship between finance and growth, using data from 72 countries during 1978 - 2001. The relationship between finance, institutions and growth is further analysed at four different stages of economic development. Secondly, it investigates empirically the hypothesis recently purposed by Rajan and Zingales (2003) that openness to trade and financial flows is one of the key determinants of financial development, using data from 43 developing c

Abstract:

This PhD thesis mainly consists of 3 papers that generally focus on the link between macroeconomic volatilities and trade flows and growth, as well as behavior of prices. Chapter 1 gives the introduction. Chapter 2, the first paper, investigates the effect of real exchange rate volatility on sectoral trade flows between the United States and her top thirteen trading partners. :My investigation also considers those effects on trade flows that may arise through changes in income volatility, and the interaction between income and exchange rate volatilities. My results show that exchange rate unce
