Towards a self-consistent theory of volatility

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new theory for the formation of volatility which takes into account the influence of option hedging on the assets price dynamics. By analogy with statistical mechanics, we build a self-consistent equation for the volatility, we show it is well-posed and we explain how it can be solved
