Jump in Volatility & Jump in Returns Kyu Won Choi
Clearing up the Data (SP500 & VIX) • Data cleared up • 5-minutes from 9:35am to 15:55pm (77 price data per day) • S&P 500 price data at 16:00pm is absent • Total 1233 days (94941 prices) from 9/22/2003 to 12/31/2008 • 2003 • 62 days from 9/22/2003 to 12/31/2003 • 225 days in Year 2004 • 236 days in Year 2005 • 242 days in Year 2006 • 233 days in Year 2007 • 235 days in Year 2008
Outline • Studied the jumps in the S&P500 and VIX • Using Realized Correlation between squared jumps (Tauchen, Todorov 2010) • Using test statistics (Jacod and Todorov 2009) • Using simple jump detection method
Realized Correlation Measure • X = every 5 minutes S&P 500 index (per day) • Y = every 5 minute VIX (per day) • Rcj (calculated daily) closer to 1 if co-arrival of jumps in two processes over the given period. Because when common arrivals are present,
Test statistics • High frequency 10 minutes versus 5 minutes price data • If common arrival of jumps converges to 1. Otherwise, Tcj closer to 2. Because when common jumps are present, • Tcj calculated daily
Unexpected Result • A number of daily • Tcj exceeds 2.0
Adjusted Result • - Tcj that exceeds 2.0 • were removed. • Then about 2/5 Tcj were • removed (maybe not • Allowed to do this)
Simple Jump Detection Method • 90167 price data (5minutes price data) • excluded first 4774 number of data (~ 5% of the data) • Fixed Window • Used the average jump size of the Year 2003 as standard • Considered to be jump if it is greater than • 2 times the standardized size jump • 3 times the standardized size jump • 4 times the standardized size jump • Rolling Window • As time passes, includes next 5 minute prices (and removed the previous one)
Consideration • Considered arriving two series of jump every 5 minutes • Is it too frequent? • Should consider only within the day? • Maybe the method to find the standardized size of jump is incorrect? • Then, from the standardized size of jump, use the squared root measure? (Instead of multiplying the constant)
Final Thoughts • Improve the measure for detecting the jumps • What to do with the test statistics? • Order of occurrences of jumps • Does one jump lead to another when not occurring at the same time? • Are jumps in volatility followed by jump in prices? • Or Jump in prices followed by volatility jumps?
