The Variance Gamma Scaled Self-Decomposable Process in Actuarial Modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A scaled self-decomposable stochastic process put forward by Carr, Geman, Madan and Yor (2007) is used to model long term equity returns and options prices. This parsimonious model is compared to a number of other one-dimensional continuous time stochastic processes (models) that are commonly used in finance and the actuarial sciences.

The Variance Gamma Process and Option Pricing

Review of Finance, 1998
Abstract A three parameter stochastic process, termed the variance gamma process, that generalizes Brownian motion is developed as a model for the dynamics of log stock prices. Theprocess is obtained by evaluating Brownian motion with drift at a random time given by a gamma process.

The pricing of compound option under variance gamma process by FFT

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2020
In this paper, we price a compound option with log asset price following an extended variance gamma process. The extended variance gamma process can control the skewness and kurtosis.

A generalized variance gamma process for financial applications

Quantitative Finance, 2012
In this work we propose a new multivariate pure jump model. We fully characterize a multivariate Levy process with finite- and infinite-activity components in positive and negative jumps. This process generalizes the variance gamma process, featuring a ‘stochastic volatility’ effect due to Poisson randomized intensities of positive and negative gamma ...
