The results show that future stock volatility is better predicted by our method than the … flow or as an active source for new information influencing future volatility.

This paper addresses stock market volatility in Germany between 1991 and 2018. Through a GARCH model with leverage term …, an estimation of volatility in the DAX is provided. Such estimation is then plugged into a quantile regression model … where potential economic determinants are analyzed. The results suggest that stock market volatility in Germany reached its …
