Volatilities and option returns
Mr. Wasielewski's dissertation project researches volatilities and option returns, focusing on the systematic seasonalities in equity and index option trading returns as uncovered in the recent literature.
One research focus is to analyze these systematic seasonalities in more detail and to understand their implications for trading strategies that exploit them.
In addition to the temporal structure of returns, the research also aims to investigate the implied volatilities of options on individual stocks compared to index options.
Particular attention is paid to the behavior of these volatilities in relation to jumps in the underlying price and/or volatility.
By investigating these aspects, a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the options markets should be gained, which can potentially lead to improved trading strategies and risk management approaches.
