Correlation skew via stochastic correlation and jumps

Valer Zetocha introduces a self-consistent correlation model based on the Jacobi process with jumps that provides a link between dispersion and worst-of options

The hunt for a high payoff while maintaining a low price always places the typical clients (be they institutional, retail or private banking) on the same side of the trade; they buy the correlation and the banks sell it.
