This paper develops a two-step estimation methodology that allows us to apply catastrophe theory to stock market … returns with time-varying volatility and to model stock market crashes. In the first step, we utilize high-frequency data to … estimate daily realized volatility from returns. Then, we use stochastic cusp catastrophe on data normalized by the estimated …
