Abstract

We forecast the realized volatility of crude oil futures market using the heterogeneous autoregressive model for realized volatility and its various extensions. Out-of-sample findings indicate that the inclusion of jumps does not improve the forecasting accuracy of the volatility models, whereas the “leverage effect” pertaining to the difference between positive and negative realized semi-variances can significantly improve the forecasting accuracy in predicting the short- and medium-term volatility. However, the signed jump variations and its decomposition couldn’t significantly enhance the models’ forecasting accuracy on the long-term volatility.

1
Andersen et al. (2007) use the realized volatility and realized variation interchangeably.

Please see more details in Zivot and Wang (2005) and Sévi (2014). In addition, we are thankful to Benoît Sévi, who give us some suggestions to measure the data.

We use the econometric software, WINRATS (V 8.00, 32 bit) to test the null hypothesis, “Skewness = 0” and “ Kurtosis = 3”.
