This paper attempts a re-examination of the relationship between the output volatility and economic growth using an … integrated (HFI) and low financially integrated (LFI) country groups. Overall, the results indicate that output volatility as a … proxy of macroeconomic volatility has negative effect on economic growth. The results appear to be stronger when we include …

funds and swap dealers cause price changes or volatility. We find little evidence that speculators destabilize financial … markets. To the contrary, speculative trading activity largely reacts to market conditions and reduces volatility levels …

We study measures of foreign exchange rate volatility based on high-frequency (5-minute) $/DM exchange rate returns … using recent nonparametric statistical techniques to compute realized return volatility and its separate continuous sample … implied volatility. We find that implied volatility is an informationally efficient but biased forecast of future realized …

realized volatility. The jump component has very different time series properties than the continuous component, and accounting … for this allows improved forecasting of future realized volatility. We investigate the potential forecasting role of … implied volatility backed out from option prices in the presence of these new separate realized volatility components. We show …

We develop a discrete-time affine stochastic volatility model with time-varying conditional skewness (SVS). Importantly …, we disentangle the dynamics of conditional volatility and conditional skewness in a coherent way. Our approach allows …

A rapidly growing literature has documented important improvements in volatility measurement and forecasting … provides a practical framework for non-parametrically measuring the jump component in realized volatility measurements … an easy-to-implement reduced form model for realized volatility results in highly significant jump coefficient estimates …
