We propose a direct and robust method for quantifying the variance risk premium on financial assets. We theoretically … and numerically show that the risk-neutral expected value of the return variance, also known as the variance swap rate, is … between the realized variance and this synthetic variance swap rate quantifies the variance risk premium. Using a large …
