Good volatility, bad volatility and option pricing / by Bruno Feunou and Cédric Okou.: FB3-5/2017-52E-PDF
“Advances in variance analysis permit the splitting of the total quadratic variation of a jump diffusion process into upside and downside components. Recent studies establish that this decomposition enhances volatility predictions, and highlight the upside/downside variance spread as a driver of the asymmetry in stock price distributions. To appraise the economic gain of this decomposition, we design a new and flexible option pricing model in which the underlying asset price exhibits distinct upside and downside semi-variance dynamics driven by their model-free proxies. The new model outperforms common benchmarks, especially the alternative that splits the quadratic variation into diffusive and jump components"--Abstract, p. ii.
