Nonlinear Features of Realized Fx Volatility
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates nonlinear features of FX volatility dynamics using estimates of daily volatility based on the sum of intraday squared returns. Measurement errors associated with using realized volatility to estimate ex post latent volatility imply that standard time series models of the conditional variance become variants of an ARMAXmodel. We explore nonlinear departures from these linear speci cations using a doubly stochastic process under duration-dependent mixing. This process can capture large abrupt changes in the level of volatility, time-varying persistence, and time-varying variance of volatility. The results have implications for forecast precision, hedging, and pricing of derivatives.

Modeling Gold Volatility: Realized GARCH Approach
F orecasting the volatility of a financial asset has wide implications in finance. Conditional variance extracted from the GARCH framework could be a suitable proxy of financial asset volatility. Option pricing, portfolio optimization, and risk management are examples of implications of conditional variance forecasting. One of the most recent methods of volatility forecasting is Real...
متن کاملRealized Volatility in Noisy Prices: a MSRV approach
Volatility is the primary measure of risk in modern finance and volatility estimation and inference has attracted substantial attention in the recent financial econometric literature, especially in high-frequency analyses. High-frequency prices carry a significant amount of noise. Therefore, there are two volatility components embedded in the returns constructed using high frequency prices: the...

متن کاملNonlinear Connections Between Realized Volatility and High/Low Range Information
In this paper we look at the relationship between daily realized volatility estimates using intraday data and range based estimates using daily high/low price range information. Several classical range based volatility estimators are compared with nonlinear functional forms in mapping range based information onto realized volatility measures. We find that the older range based estimators can be...
