Stochastic Volatility Models and Financial Risk Measures: Towards New Justifications
We provide theoretical justifications for the empirical successes of (1) the asymmetric heteroskedasticity models of stochastic volatility in mathematical finance and (2) Wang’s distorted probability risk measures in actuarial and investment sciences, using a unified framework of symmetry groups.
