N2 - Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard [3] investigate supOU processes as volatility models. Empirical volatility has tails heavier than normal, long memory in the sense that the empirical autocorrelation function decreases slower than exponential, and exhibits volatility clusters on high levels. We investigate supOU processes with respect to these stylized facts. The class of supOU processes is vast and can be distinguished by its underlying driving Levy process. Within the class of convolution equivalent distributions we shall show that extremal clusters and long range dependence only occur for supOU processes, whose underlying driving Levy process has regularly varying increments. The results on the extremal behavior of supOU processes correspond to the results of classical Lévy-driven OU processes.
