Essays on Gaussian Probability Laws with Stochastic Means and Variances : With Applications to Financial Economics

<p>This work consists of four articles concerning Gaussian probability laws with stochastic means and variances. The first paper introduces a new way of approximating the probability distribution of a function of random variables. This is done with a Gaussian probability law with stochastic mean and variance. In the second paper an extension of the Generalized Hyperbolic class of probability distributions is presented. The third paper introduces, using a Gaussian probability law with stochastic mean and variance, a GARCH type stochastic process with skewed innovations. </p><p>In the fourth paper a Lévy process with second order stochastic volatility is presented, option pricing under such a process is also considered.</p>
