Hawkes processes and their applications to finance: a review

AG Hawkes - Quantitative Finance, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Hawkes (1971a, 1971b, 1972) introduced a family of models for stochastic point processes
called 'self-exciting and mutually exciting point processes' the essential property of which …

Volatility is rough

J Gatheral, T Jaisson, M Rosenbaum - Quantitative finance, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Estimating volatility from recent high frequency data, we revisit the question of the
smoothness of the volatility process. Our main result is that log-volatility behaves essentially …

Pricing under rough volatility

C Bayer, P Friz, J Gatheral - Quantitative Finance, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
From an analysis of the time series of realized variance using recent high-frequency data,
Gatheral et al.[Volatility is rough, 2014] previously showed that the logarithm of realized …

The characteristic function of rough Heston models

O El Euch, M Rosenbaum - Mathematical Finance, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
It has been recently shown that rough volatility models, where the volatility is driven by a
fractional Brownian motion with small Hurst parameter, provide very relevant dynamics in …

Perfect hedging in rough Heston models

OE Euch, M Rosenbaum - The Annals of Applied Probability, 2018 - JSTOR
Rough volatility models are known to reproduce the behavior of historical volatility data
while at the same time fitting the volatility surface remarkably well, with very few parameters …

The microstructural foundations of leverage effect and rough volatility

O El Euch, M Fukasawa, M Rosenbaum - Finance and Stochastics, 2018 - Springer
We show that typical behaviors of market participants at the high frequency scale generate
leverage effect and rough volatility. To do so, we build a simple microscopic model for the …

Multifactor approximation of rough volatility models

E Abi Jaber, O El Euch - SIAM journal on financial mathematics, 2019 - SIAM
Rough volatility models are very appealing because of their remarkable fit of both historical
and implied volatilities. However, due to the non-Markovian and nonsemimartingale nature …

Decoupling the short-and long-term behavior of stochastic volatility

M Bennedsen, A Lunde… - Journal of Financial …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We introduce a new class of continuous-time models of the stochastic volatility of asset
prices. The models can simultaneously incorporate roughness and slowly decaying …

Joint SPX & VIX calibration with Gaussian polynomial volatility models: Deep pricing with quantization hints

E Abi Jaber, C Illand, S Li - Mathematical Finance, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We consider the joint SPX & VIX calibration within a general class of Gaussian polynomial
volatility models in which the volatility of the SPX is assumed to be a polynomial function of a …

Modeling and forecasting realized volatility with the fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process

X Wang, W **ao, J Yu - Journal of Econometrics, 2023 - Elsevier
This paper proposes to model and forecast realized volatility (RV) using the fractional
Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (fO–U) process with a general Hurst parameter, H. A two-stage method …
