摘要: In this presentation, at first, I provide some background on the basic building block ofmy research- Lévy processes. After that, a number of aspects of the variance swap in connection to the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard model are studied. Finally, Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard  model is implemented to find an optimal hedging strategy for the oil commodity from the Bakken, a new region of oil extraction that is benefiting from fracking technology. The model is analyzed in connectiontothequadratichedgingproblemandsomerelatedanalyticalresultsaredeveloped.
