asset management are predicated on the importance of jumps, or discontinuous movements in asset returns. In light of this, a … number of recent papers have addressed volatility predictability, some from the perspective of the usefulness of jumps in … forecasting volatility. Key papers in this area include Andersen, Bollerslev, Diebold and Labys (2003), Corsi (2004), Andersen …

Forecasting volatility models typically rely on either daily or high frequency (HF) data and the choice between these … these two family forecasting-volatility models, comparing their performance (in terms of Value at Risk, VaR) under the … assumptions of jumps in prices and leverage effects for volatility. Findings suggest that daily-data models are preferred to HF …

We document the forecasting gains achieved by incorporating measures of signed, finite and infinite jumps in … forecasting the volatility of equity prices, using high-frequency data from 2000 to 2016. We consider the SPY and 20 stocks that … threshold bipower variation measures. Incorporating signed finite and infinite jumps generates significantly better real …

Numerous tests designed to detect realized jumps over a fixed time span have been proposed and extensively studied in … the financial econometrics literature. These tests differ from “long time span tests” that detect jumps by examining the … these findings, and “time-span robust” tests indicate that the prevalence of jumps is not as universal as might be expected. …

Among the new fMSV models, the … Cholesky MSV model with long memory and asymmetry shows stable and better forecasting performance for one-day, five-day and ten …
