Abstract

The paper complements the reviews on the stochastic volatility models and option pricing. We discuss recent advances in modeling and estimation techniques which allow to investigate models with latent factors and non-unique risk-neutral probability measures. The issues related to the optimal data utilization and volatility filtering are highlighted. We also discuss some of the future research in this area.
