We introduce a new framework, Realized GARCH, for the joint modeling of returns and realized measures of volatility. A key feature is a measurement equation that relates the realized measure to the conditional variance of returns. The measurement equation facilitates a simple modeling of the...

We study financial volatility during the Global Financial Crisis and use the largest volatility shocks to identify major events during the crisis. Our analysis makes extensive use of high-frequency financial data to model volatility and to determine the timing within the day when the largest...

We introduce the Realized Exponential GARCH model that can utilize multiple realized volatility measures for the modeling of a return series. The model specifies the dynamic properties of both returns and realized measures, and is characterized by a flexible modeling of the dependence between...
