An example of the computation of the implied parameter ˆρ<br />

• BS model: LN distribution calibrated with ATM options; Pric<strong>in</strong>g<br />

kernel = LN distributions + Normal copula<br />

ˆρ 1 = −0.341<br />

• Bahra model: mixture of LN distributions calibrated with eight<br />

European prices; Pric<strong>in</strong>g kernel = MLN distributions + Normal<br />

copula<br />

ˆρ 2 = 0.767<br />

Remark 3 ˆρ 1 and ˆρ 2 are parameters of the Normal Copula. ˆρ 1 is a<br />

Pearson correlation, not ˆρ 2 .<br />

⇒ BS model: negative <strong>dependence</strong> / Bahra model: positive<br />

<strong>dependence</strong>.<br />
