Abstract: This paper presents a selective survey of volatility topics, with emphasis on the measurement of volatility and a discussion of some of the most important time series models commonly employed in its modelling. In particular, the paper details the long memory characteristics of volatility, and discusses its possible origins and impact on option pricing. To conclude, the paper discusses statistical tools that discriminate between nonlinearity and nonstationarity.
