Abstract

We introduce a class of stock models that interpolates between exponential Lévy models based on Brownian subordination and certain stochastic volatility models with Lévy-driven volatility, such as the Barndorff-Nielsen--Shephard model. The driving process in our model is a Brownian motion subordinated to a business time which is obtained by convolution of a Lévy subordinator with a deterministic kernel. We motivate several choices of the kernel that lead to volatility clusters while maintaining the sudden extreme movements of the stock. Moreover, we discuss some statistical and path properties of the models, prove absence of arbitrage and incompleteness, and explain how to price vanilla options by simulation and fast Fourier transform methods.
