Abstract

The bias between the expected realized variance under the historical measure and the risk neutral probability introduces the concept of the variance risk premium (VRP). Our work introduced a probabilistic modeling of the VRP via a parametric class of stochastic volatility models which incorporates the nonlinear class.
