Abstract
We test the goodness-of-fit of stochastic volatility (SV) models using the implied volatility index of the KOSPI200 options (VKOSPI). The likelihood ratio tests reject the Heston and Hull-White SV models, whether or not they include jumps. Our estimation results advocate the unconstrained constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model with return jumps for describing the physical-measure dynamics of the spot index. The sub-period analysis shows that there was a significant increase in the size and frequency of jumps during the crisis period, when compared to those in the normal periods.
