13 Motvaton Stochastc models for asset prces What are good models for the prce process {S t } t 0? Stochastc volatlty Heston model (1993): R (δ) = bδ + δ v 1 δ Z, v δ = v δ 1 + α(m v δ 1)δ + γ δv δ 1 Z, ρ = Corr(Z, Z ).

Stochastc volatlty wth jumps: R (δ) = bδ + δ v δ v δ where 0 < β < 2 and J (β) Remarks: 1 Z + θδ 1/β J (β) = v δ 1 + α(m v δ 1)δ + γ, δv δ 1 Z. are..d. symmetrc wth heavy tals: P(J (β) x) cx β, as x. P(Z x) e x /x; hence, J feels lke jumps compared to Z ; The larger β, the lghter the tals, and the smaller J (β) β s called the ndex of jump actvty. wll tend to be;
