asymptotic behavior of the pdf constraints due to Roger Lee
In a beautiful paper, http://math.uchicago.edu/~rl/moment.pdf, Roger Lee (2004) shows that implied variance is bounded above by a function linear in the log-strike k.
Does anybody know how it ...

Fourth moment of ARCH(2)
I am studying the ARCH(2) process given by
$$X_t = \sqrt{h_t} \varepsilon_t$$
where
$$h_t = \alpha_0 + \alpha_1 X_{t-1} ^2 + \alpha_2 X_{t-2} ^2$$
and $\varepsilon_t$ follows $N(0,1)$. ...

Risk Neutral Variance Gamma
In the risk neutral version of the Variance Gamma model the stock dynamics are
$$S_T=S_0 e^{ (r-q+\omega)t + X(t;\sigma,\nu,\theta)}$$
with
$$\omega=\frac{1}{\nu}\ln\left(1-\theta \nu - \frac{\...

Saddlepoint approximation when CGF is approximated
According to the saddlepoint approximation, if the cumulant generating function $K(t) = \log E[e^{tX}]$ of the distribution of the random variable $X$ exists and is known, then the density $f(x)$ of $...

Asian option analytical approximation
I'm trying to approximate the price of an Asian option via the Black-Scholes formula by considering the discrete arithmetic average as a log-normal distribution.
$$
A_{T}(n):=\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n}...

Analytical formula for the moments of SABR model?
Do analytical formulae exist for the central moments under the SABR model? Assuming dynamics for the forward rate $\{F_t, t \geq 0\}$ under a shifted SABR model. How do we derive $\mathbb{E}[X(T)^n]$ ...

Using GO GARCH to optimize a yearly-rebalanced portfolio based on daily data
Is it reliable to optimize portfolio weights on a yearly-rebalanced portfolio based on the Generalized Orthogonal GARCH (GO-Garch) covariance, coskewness, and cokurtosis matrices with the rmgarch R-...

Is there a modified Bachelier's futures spread option model with adjustments for skew and kurtosis?
I'm looking at pricing a very large deal and while the distribution is kind of "normal," there's quiet a bit of skew and kurtosis that isn't being considered when I use the normal Bachelier'...

Power options for pricing European claims
I have the following question:
Why would somebody be interested in the expression $E[S^\theta]$ for $\theta$ between zero and one.
The only thing I know is that this then can be somehow used to ...
