Abstract
This paper introduces a modification to the affine GARCH model of Heston and Nandi (2000). The new model is designed to allow for a non-zero lower bound for the variance achieved by adding two parameters to the existing model. The affine structure of the moment-generating function is preserved at the level of variance, while an approximation is studied for log prices. The construction resembles the shifted continuous-time Heston (1993) model. Maximum likelihood estimation is performed on real data, and the model is shown to improve the fitting of the implied volatility surface, particularly for deep out-of-the-money options.
