Spot prices in energy markets exhibit special features, such as price spikes, mean reversion, stochastic volatility, inverse leverage effect, and dependencies between the commodities. In this paper a multivariate stochastic volatility model is introduced which captures these features. The second-order structure and stationarity of the model are analyzed in detail. A simulation method for Monte Carlo generation of price paths is introduced and a numerical example is presented.

A multivariate extension of the exponential continuous time GARCH (p, q) model (ECOGARCH) is introduced and studied. Stationarity and mixing properties of the new stochastic volatility model are investigated, and ways to model a component-wise leverage effect are presented.

This paper is to study the estimation of stochastic volatility model with leverage effect using Bayesian approach and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation technique. The data used is China's Shenzheng stock index. Estimations of model parameters are achieved by using MCMC technique in Openbugs Software, results show that there is leverage effect in Shenzheng stock series, convergence diagnostics suggest that parameters of the model are convergent.

We analyze a stochastic volatility market model in which volatility is correlated with return and is represented by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. In the framework of this model we exactly calculate the leverage effect and other stylized facts, such as mean reversion, leptokurtosis and negative skewness. We also obtain a close analytical expression for the characteristic function and study the heavy tails of the probability distribution.
