Option Returns and the Cross-Sectional Predictability of Implied Volatility∗
I study the cross-section of realized stock option returns and find an economically important source of predictability in the cross-sectional distribution of implied volatility. A zero-cost trading strategy that is long in straddles with a large positive forecast of the change in implied volatility and short in straddles with a large negative forecast produces an economically important and stat...
متن کاملOption-Implied Term Structures
The illiquidity of long-maturity options has made it difficult to study the term structures of option spanning portfolios. This paper proposes a new estimation and inference framework for these option-implied term structures that addresses long-maturity illiquidity. By building a sieve estimator around the risk-neutral valuation equation, the framework theoretically justifies (fattailed) extrap...
متن کاملImplied Volatility Skews and Stock Index Skewness and Kurtosis Implied by S&p 500 Index Option Prices
The Black-Scholes (1973) option pricing model is used to value a wide range of option contracts. However, the model often inconsistently prices deep in-themoney and deep out-of-the-money options. Options’ professionals refer to this phenomenon as a volatility ‘skew’ or ‘smile.’ In this paper, we apply an extension of the Black-Scholes model developed by Jarrow and Rudd (1982) to an investigatio...
متن کاملOption-Implied Currency Risk Premia
We use cross-sectional information on the prices of G10 currency options to calibrate a non-Gaussian model of pricing kernel dynamics and construct estimates of conditional currency risk premia. We find that the mean historical returns to short dollar and carry factors (HMLFX ) are statistically indistinguishable from their option-implied counterparts, which are free from peso problems. Skewnes...
متن کاملForecasting real estate returns using financial spreads
This paper examines the predictability of real estate asset returns using a number of time series techniques. A vector autoregressive model, which incorporates financial spreads, is able to improve upon the out of sample forecasting performance of univariate time series models at a short forecasting horizon. However, as the forecasting horizon increases, the explanatory power of such models is ...
