This paper revisits the fractional co-integrating relationship between ex-ante implied volatility and ex-post realized … volatility. Previous studies on stock index options have found biases and inefficiencies in implied volatility as a forecast of … future volatility. It is argued that the concept of corridor implied volatility (CIV) should be used instead of the popular …

We argue that the concept of corridor implied volatility (CIV) should be used instead of the popular model …-free option-implied volatility (MFIV) when assessing the fractional cointegrating relation as the latter may introduce bias to the …

When analysing the volatility related to high frequency financial data, mostly non-parametric approaches based on … stochastic volatility. Estimation of the model delivers measures of daily variation outperforming their non …

This work develops change-point methods for statistics of high-frequency data. The main interest is the volatility of … discriminate different smoothness classes of the underlying stochastic volatility process. In a high-frequency framework we prove … extremely mild smoothness assumptions on the stochastic volatility we thereby derive a consistent test for volatility jumps. A …
