Realized Volatility in Noisy Prices: a MSRV approach
Volatility is the primary measure of risk in modern finance and volatility estimation and inference has attracted substantial attention in the recent financial econometric literature, especially in high-frequency analyses. High-frequency prices carry a significant amount of noise. Therefore, there are two volatility components embedded in the returns constructed using high frequency prices: the...
متن کاملRising Food Prices, Food Price Volatility, and Social Unrest
Can food prices cause social unrest? Throughout history, riots have frequently broken out, ostensibly as a consequence of high food prices. Using monthly data at the international level, this paper studies the impact of food prices – both food price levels volatility – on social unrest. Because food prices and social unrest are jointly determined, data on natural disasters are used to identify ...
متن کاملA Maximal Affine Stochastic Volatility Model of Oil Prices
This study develops and estimates a stochastic volatility model of commodity prices that nests many of the previous models in the literature. The model is an affine three-factor model with one state variable driving the volatility and is maximal among all such models that are also identifiable. The model leads to quasianalytical formulas for futures and options prices. It allows for time-varyin...
متن کاملPass-Through Effects of Global Food Prices on Consumer Prices in Iran
T he objective of this study is using the Markov Switching Vector Autoregressive method and regime dependent impulse response functions to measure the pass-through of world food prices to consumer price index in Iran from 1990 to 2013. With respect to information criteria and the log-likelihood ratio statistic, MSIA(2)-VAR(1) model has a better fit to data than other models. The magn...
متن کاملA Comparison of q-optimal option prices in a Stochastic Volatility Model with correlation
This paper investigates option prices in an incomplete stochastic volatility model with correlation. In a general setting, we prove an ordering result which says that prices for European options with convex payoffs are decreasing in the market price of volatility risk. As an example, and as our main motivation, we investigate option pricing under the class of q-optimal pricing measures. Using t...
