What is “Lambda” in Heston's original paper on stochastic volatility models?












1












$begingroup$


In his paper (link), he has the equations:




b1 = k + ƛ - (ρ * σ)



b2 = k + ƛ




k is the rate of mean reversion, ρ is the correlation between the two Wiener processes, σ is vol of vol, what is ƛ?



I have yet to figure out what ƛ is.



Thanks!

          It is on page 329 (which is the third page of the article) and represents the market price of volatility risk. I have copied below from the original article:
