Abstract

Stochastic volatility model of the Gamma Ornstein–Uhlenbeck possess authentic capability of both capturing some stylized features of financial time series and pricing European options. In this work we modify the Gamma OU model from the viewpoint of Monte Carlo simulation, which is crucial in both model inference and exotic option pricing. We discuss topics related to the measure transformation between objective and risk-neutral measures, arbitrage-free and market incompleteness of the new model. Furthermore, we investigate the performance of this model in European options pricing and an empirical application is presented.
