Option-Implied Term Structures
The illiquidity of long-maturity options has made it difficult to study the term structures of option spanning portfolios. This paper proposes a new estimation and inference framework for these option-implied term structures that addresses long-maturity illiquidity. By building a sieve estimator around the risk-neutral valuation equation, the framework theoretically justifies (fattailed) extrap...
متن کاملEstimating quadratic variation using realised variance
This paper looks at some recent work on estimating quadratic variation using realised variance (RV) — that is sums of M squared returns. This econometrics has been motivated by the advent of the common availability of high frequency financial return data. When the underlying process is a semimartingale we recall the fundamental result that RV is a consistent (as M → ∞) estimator of quadratic va...
متن کاملLikelihood estimation of Lévy–driven stochastic volatility models through realised variance measures
This paper studies the effect of jumps and leverage type effects on return and realised variance calculations when the logarithmic asset price is given by a scaled Lévy processes. In such a model, the realised variance is an inconsistent estimator of the integrated variance. Nevertheless it can be used within a quasi–maximumlikelihood setup to draw inference on the model parameters. In order to...
متن کاملOption-Implied Currency Risk Premia
We use cross-sectional information on the prices of G10 currency options to calibrate a non-Gaussian model of pricing kernel dynamics and construct estimates of conditional currency risk premia. We find that the mean historical returns to short dollar and carry factors (HMLFX ) are statistically indistinguishable from their option-implied counterparts, which are free from peso problems. Skewnes...
متن کاملThe Cross Section of Equity Implied Variance
The implied variances of 167 firms are examined over the period 1991 through 1995. The traditional market model of returns is shown to be a good first order model for explaining the cross section of variances though firm specific variances appear to exhibit stronger covariance than the market model predicts. The existence of a positive bias over realized and forecast variances is documented. Th...
