The Log-Asset Dynamic with Euler–Maruyama Scheme under Wishart Processes

Abstract

This article deals with Wishart process which is defined as matrix generalization of a squared Bessel process. We consider a single risky asset pricing model whose volatility is described by Wishart affine diffusion processes. The multifactor volatility specification enables this model to be flexible enough to describe the market prices for short or long maturities. The aim of the study is to derive the log-asset returns dynamic under the double Wishart stochastic volatility model. The corrected Euler–Maruyama discretization technique is applied in order to obtain the numerical solution of the log-asset return dynamic under Bi-Wishart processes. The numerical examples show the effect of the model parameters on the asset returns under the double Wishart volatility model.
