Description

This paper proposes a novel decomposition of realized volatility (RV) into moderate and extreme realized volatility estimates. These estimates behave like long and short term components of volatility, and are very different from either realized semi-variance or the continuous and jump components of volatility. Within the standard linear HAR framework, a forecast comparison exercise using index returns shows that employing the new decomposition leads to forecasts that are often superior to the competing forecasts based on existing realized measures.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
