the unemployment problem, the volatility of the growth rate of unemployment has to be known in order to launch appropriate … policies correctly. Therefore, a wide range of conditional volatility models, which are usually used in financial markets, are … employed to estimate the volatility with symmetric and asymmetric effects. The monthly data on unemployment is downloaded to …

Due to the high relevance of 1-day volatility forecasts and the increasing demand for zero-day-to-expiration (0DTE …) options on the S&P 500, the Cboe recently introduced the 1-Day Volatility Index (VIX1D). Compared to the longer …-term volatility indices of the VIX family, it is overall lower and more volatile, shows a weaker negative correlation with the S&P 500 …

subject to stochastic volatility. It enables the disentanglement of dynamic structures in both the mean and the variance of … the observed time series. We develop a simulated maximum likelihood estimation method based on importance sampling and … increased during the 2008 financial crisis while it has recently returned to its pre-crisis level. The extracted volatility …

The paper constructs measures of intra-day realized volatility for 17 European and USA stock indices. We utilize a … model-free de-noising method by assembling the realized volatility in sampling frequency selected according to the … volatility signature plot which minimizes the micro-structure effects. Having verified the stylized facts of realized volatility …
