An Empirical Model for Volatility of Returns and Option Pricing
In a seminal paper in 1973, Black and Scholes argued how expected distributions of stock prices can be used to price options. Their model assumed a directed random motion for the ...

An Inverse-Quantile Function Approach for Modeling Electricity Price
We propose a class of alternative stochastic volatility models for electricity prices using the quantile function modeling approach. Specifically, we fit marginal distributions ...
