Variance of the log returns in jump diffusion with time-varying jump sizes
I'm trying to calculate the variance $\mathrm{var}\left(\log\frac{S\left(t\right)}{S\left(0\right)}\right)$, where the dynamics of the stock $S$ follows a jump-diffusion process given by $$\frac{dS\...

The distribution of the jump diffusion process
In the Merton jump diffusion model the process of the share price can be expressed as $$S_{t}=S_{0}\cdot\exp\left\{ X_{t}\right\} ,$$ where $$X_{t}=\mu t+\sigma W_{t}+\sum_{i=1}^{N_{t}}Y_{i}.$$
Here $...

Understanding and simulating the jumps in Merton's Jump-Diffusion SDE?
I found this great post deriving the solution to the Merton Jump-Diffusion SDE
$$S_t = S_0\exp\left(\left(\mu - \frac{\sigma^2}{2}\right)t + \sigma W_t\right)\prod_{j=0}^{N_t}V_j$$
The first part of ...

Hedging jump models with a infinite number of derivatives
First of all, I inform you that I am not a financial mathematician and have vague knowledge about an incomplete market.
Stochastic volatility models are incomplete so derivatives cannot be ...
