The derivation of the moments of the return distribution is detailed, revealing the role of the inverse-gamma law in the emergence of fat tails and of the relevant correlation functions.

Nonstationary increments, scaling distributions, and variable diffusion processes in financial markets

It is explicitly shown that the assumption that the underlying stochastic process has stationary increments for the Euro–Dollar exchange rate is invalid, and methods to evaluate the dynamical scaling index and the scaling function empirically are introduced.

A theory for Fluctuations in Stock Prices and Valuation of their Options

A new theory for pricing options of a stock is presented. It is based on the assumption that while successive variations in return are uncorrelated, the frequency with which a stock is traded depends…

Pricing Risky Options Simply

This paper is a follow-up of (Aurell and Życzkowski, 1996) [2] and (Aurell et al. 1996) [1]. We show that the prescription of pricing option by minimizing risk can be solved in a way that is quite…

Experimental indications for Markov properties of small-scale turbulence

We present a stochastic analysis of a data set consisting of 1.25 × 107 samples of the local velocity measured in the turbulent region of a round free jet. We find evidence that the statistics of the…
