چکیده
Realized volatility of stock returns is often decomposed into two distinct components that are attributed to continuous price variation and jumps. This paper proposes a tobit multivariate factor model for the jumps coupled with a standard multivariate factor model for the continuous sample path to jointly forecast volatility in three Chinese Mainland stocks. Out of sample forecast analysis shows that separate multivariate factor models for the two volatility processes outperform a single multivariate factor model of realized volatility, and that a single multivariate factor model of realized volatility outperforms univariate models.

Does Decomposing Realized Volatility Help in Risk Measure Prediction: Evidence from Chinese Mainland Stock Market
This paper examines jump dynamic patterns in three Chinese medical stocks. It also compares the Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecasting performance of a newly proposed realized volatility model allowing for jumps with that of two commonly used realized volatility models, which do not account for jumps. Using the Heterogeneous Autoregressive Realized Volatility model that allows for jumps (HAR-CJN), we ...
متن کاملVolatility forecasting: the jumps do matter∗†
This study reconsiders the role of jumps for volatility forecasting by showing that jumps have a positive and mostly significant impact on future volatility. This result becomes apparent once volatility is correctly separated into its continuous and discontinuous component. To this purpose, we introduce the concept of threshold multipower variation (TMPV), which is based on the joint use of bip...
متن کاملThe role in index jumps and cojumps in forecasting stock index volatility: Evidence from the Dow Jones index
Modeling and forecasting realized volatility is of paramount importance. Previous studies have examined the role of both the continuous and jump components of volatility in forecasting. This paper considers how to use index level jumps and cojumps across index constituents for forecasting index level volatility. In combination with the magnitude of past index jumps, the intensity of both index ...
متن کاملThe Role of Implied Volatility in Forecasting Future Realized Volatility and Jumps in Foreign Exchange, Stock, and Bond Markets
We study the forecasting of future realized volatility in the foreign exchange, stock, and bond markets from variables in the information set, including implied volatility backed out from option prices. Realized volatility is separated into its continuous and jump components, and the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model is applied with implied volatility as an additional forecasting variabl...
متن کاملModeling and forecasting realized volatility: getting the most out of the jump component
Modeling and forecasting realized volatility is of paramount importance. Recent econometric developments allow total volatility to be decomposed into its’ constituent continuous and jump components. While previous studies have examined the role of both components in forecasting, little analysis has been undertaken into how best to harness the jump component. This paper considers how to get the ...
