Forecasting realized volatility: The role of implied volatility, leverage effect, overnight returns, and volatility of realized volatility [PDF]
AbstractWe forecast realized volatility extending the heterogeneous autoregressive model (HAR) to include implied volatility (IV), the leverage effect, overnight returns, and the volatility of realized volatility. We analyze 10 international stock indices finding that, although a simple HAR model augmented with IV (HAR‐IV) is more accurate than any HAR

Do U.S. economic conditions at the state level predict the realized volatility of oil-price returns? A quantile machine-learning approach [PDF]
Because the U.S. is a major player in the international oil market, it is interesting to study whether aggregate and state-level economic conditions can predict the subsequent realized volatility of oil price returns.

The Volatility of Realized Volatility [PDF]
In recent years, with the availability of high-frequency financial market data modeling realized volatility has become a new and innovative research direction. The construction of “observable” or realized volatility series from intra-day transaction data and the use of standard time-series techniques has lead to promising strategies for modeling and ...

Modeling Realized Variance with Realized Quarticity
This paper proposes a model for realized variance that exploits information in realized quarticity. The realized variance and quarticity measures are both highly persistent and highly correlated with each other.

Analysis of Option Trading Strategies Based on the Relation of Implied and Realized S&P500 Volatilities [PDF]
In this paper, we examine the performance of certain short option trading strategies on the S&P500 with backtesting based on historical option price data. Some of these strategies show significant outperformance in relation to the S&P500 index.

Challenges of integrated variance estimation in emerging stock markets [PDF]
Estimating integrated variance, using high frequency data, requires modelling experience and data crunching skills. Although intraday returns have attracted much attention in recent years, handling these data is challenging because of their ...

Realizing Smiles: Options Pricing with Realized Volatility [PDF]
We develop a discrete-time stochastic volatility option pricing model exploiting the information contained in the Realized Volatility (RV), which is used as a proxy of the unobservable log-return volatility. We model the RV dynamics by a simple and effective long-memory process, whose parameters can be easily estimated using historical data.

Realized Volatility Risk [PDF]
In this paper we document that realized variation measures constructed from high-frequency returns reveal a large degree of volatility risk in stock and index returns, where we characterize volatility risk by the extent to which forecasting errors in realized volatility are substantive.
