We compare the most common stochastic volatility models such as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU), the Heston and the exponential OU models. We try to decide which is the most appropriate one by studying their volatility autocorrelation and leverage effect, and thus outline the limitations of each model.

Volatility plays an important role in portfolio management and option pricing. Recently, there has been a growing interest in modeling volatility of the observed process by nonlinear stochastic process [S.J. Taylor, Asset Price Dynamics, Volatility, and Prediction, Princeton University Press, 2005;
This paper proposes the Lagrange multiplier (LM) test, or the score test, for jumps in the stochastic volatility (SV) model in the cases where the innovation term follows the normal and Student t-distributions. The tested null hypothesis is that the jump density has zero variance, which is expressed
The most common stochastic volatility models such as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU), the Heston, the exponential OU (ExpOU) and Hull-White models define volatility as a Markovian process. In this work we check the applicability of the Markovian approximation at separate times scales and will try to ans
