Asymptotics of Forward Implied Volatility [PDF]

open access: greenSSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
We prove here a general closed-form expansion formula for forward-start options and the forward implied volatility smile in a large class of models, including the Heston stochastic volatility and time-changed exponential L\'evy models.

Forward implied volatility expansion in time-dependent local volatility models****** [PDF]

open access: diamondESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2014
We introduce an analytical approximation to efficiently price forward start options on equity in time-dependent local volatility models as the forward start date, the maturity or the volatility coefficient are small.

Quantum field theory of forward rates with stochastic volatility [PDF]

open access: greenPhysical Review E, 2002
In a recent formulation of a quantum field theory of forward rates, the volatility of the forward rates was taken to be deterministic. The field theory of the forward rates is generalized to the case of stochastic volatility.

The implied volatility index: Is ‘investor fear gauge’ or ‘forward-looking’?

open access: goldBorsa Istanbul Review, 2015
The paper aims to examine implied volatility as the investor fear gauge or/and forward-looking expectation of future stock market volatility within emerging markets setting-India VIX. The earliest results evidenced that VIX is the gauge of investor fear,

An Examination of Forward Volatility [PDF]

open access: greenProceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference, 2004., 2005
This paper investigates the adequacy of various principal components (p.c.) approaches as data reduction schemes for processing contingent claim valuations on baskets of equities. As a general proposition we are interested in discovering possible features and rules-of-thumb for the applicability of p.c. techniques. In particular, what accuracy does one

Path-Conditional Forward Volatility [PDF]

open access: greenSSRN Electronic Journal, 2006
In derivatives modelling, it has often been necessary to make assumptions about the volatility of the underlying variable over the life of the contract. This can involve specifying an exact trajectory, as in the Black and Scholes (1973), Merton (1973) or Black (1976) models; one that depends on the level of the underlying variable as in the local ...

The relationship between corporate forward-looking disclosure and stock return volatility [PDF]

open access: goldProblems and Perspectives in Management, 2018
The study assesses corporate forward-looking disclosure by measuring four attributes, namely disclosure quantity, disclosure coverage, disclosure concentration and disclosure quality, through a sample of 34 listed firms in the Bahrain Bourse from 2014 to

Finite–dimensional Markovian realizations for stochastic volatility forward–rate models [PDF]

open access: green, 2004
We consider forward rate rate models of HJM type, as well as more general infinite dimensional SDEs, where the volatility/diffusion term is stochastic in the sense of being driven by a separate hidden Markov process.
