Title
Smile Dynamics in Rough Volatility Models
Abstract
We investigate the dynamic characteristics of various stochastic and rough volatility models, including classical examples like the 2-factor Bergomi model, rough Bergomi model, Heston, and rough Heston. Specifically, we focus on the dynamics of option-implied volatilities induced by these models. While recent literature has extensively analyzed the static properties of some models, such as their calibration power or the term structure of ATM skews, their dynamic properties have received less attention. We examine the Skew-Stickiness Ratio (SSR) introduced by Bergomi as an indicator of joint spot price and implied volatility dynamics. Using different estimators, primarily Monte Carlo-based, we compare the results with empirical market SSR for large stock indices. This comparison sheds light on the suitability of certain modeling choices.
