Table 2.

Simulation results under the Γ-OU Hawkes volatility model for a European call option. Parameters are as in Table 1, top panel refers to set A (true option price: 5.6645), central panel refers to set B (true option price: 12.4740), bottom panel refers to set C (true option price: 11.7605). Other parameters: S0=100, K=100 and T=1. M×104 is the total number of simulations, N×102 is the number of time steps in the Euler scheme. Further notes: CPU is in seconds
