Volatility is Rough Clause Samples

Volatility is Rough. ‌ The origins of modern mathematical finance as it is currently known can be traced back to the introduction of the Black-Scholes model which even today is considered the canonical model for financial assets in continuous time: dSt/St = µdt + σdWt (1.1) where W is a Brownian Motion. This model was revolutionary in that one could price all European options (and some exotics) with corresponding unique replication strategies i.e. perfect hedging strategies. Such a model was ubiquitous in industry and contributed to the boom in the derivatives market during the end of the twentieth century. Whilst simple this model has some substantial drawbacks. Given market prices for vanilla options we can infer the value of σ required to give the observed market price, the so- called implied volatility. When the implied volatility is computed from market observed equity options prices across strikes we typically see what has come to be known as a volatility smile i.e. a non-constant implied volatility which typically increases as we move sufficiently far away from the "at-the-money" (ATM) strike. This is in contrast to the "flat" implied volatility characteristic of the Black-Scholes model. The gradient of the smile at-the-money (where the strike is the same as the spot value) is known as the skew and it has been empirically observed to diverge as the maturity tends to zero. Faced with the task of building more realistic models for asset prices we can divide the various proposed approaches into two broad types. The first, which we shall not address in this thesis, consists of models that incorporate jumps into the sample paths of the asset prices thus allowing for the framework of (potentially infinite-activity) Lévy processes amongst other things.

  • Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions 1. The Performer agrees to submit, during the term of the Agreement, an annual report on the utilization of a subject invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made by the Performer or its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, gross royalties received by the Performer, and such other data and information as the agency may reasonably specify. The Performer also agrees to provide additional reports as may be requested by DARPA in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by DARPA in accordance with Paragraph I of this Article. DARPA agrees it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of the Performer, unless required by law. 2.

To the extent any such reporting cannot be carried out by use of i-Edison, reports and communications shall be submitted to the Agreements Officer and Administrative Agreements Officer.

  • Wet Weather In the event of wet weather, work in the open will continue until the particular work in hand can no longer be done safely and efficiently. Whilst it is raining, employees will be required to: Continue to work under cover or relocate to alternative work under cover, on site. Obtain materials and services for employees working under cover where there is only minimal exposure to inclement weather. When required, perform emergency and safety work. In addition, work on unexpected breakdowns, which can be corrected in limited time duration. Should a portion of the project be affected by wet weather, all other employees not so affected shall continue working in accordance with award conditions, regardless that some employees may be entitled to cease work due to wet weather. If a halt to productive work occurs due to inclement weather, the parties agree that employees may be relocated to other unaffected sites. Where the above steps are not possible, affected employees may be required to attend tool box meetings, work planning sessions or skills development activities, all of which will count as productive time for payment purposes.

  • CLEC OUTAGE For a problem limited to one CLEC (or a building with multiple CLECs), BellSouth has several options available for restoring service quickly. For those CLECs that have agreements with other CLECs, BellSouth can immediately start directing traffic to a provisional CLEC for completion. This alternative is dependent upon BellSouth having concurrence from the affected CLECs. Whether or not the affected CLECs have requested a traffic transfer to another CLEC will not impact BellSouth's resolve to re-establish traffic to the original destination as quickly as possible.
