Using daily range data to calibrate volatility diffusions and extract the forward integrated variance
TLDR
In this article, the authors developed techniques for estimating the conditional distribution of the forward integrated variance given observed variables and found that standard models do not fit the data very well and a more general three-factor model does better, as it mimics the long-memory feature of financial volatility.Abstract:
A common model for security price dynamics is the continuous- time stochastic volatility model. For this model, Hull and White (1987) show that the price of a derivative claim is the conditional expectation of the Black-Scholes price with the forward integrated variance replacing the Black-Scholes variance. Implementing the Hull and White characteriza- tion requires both estimates of the price dynamics and the conditional distribution of the forward integrated variance given observed variables. Using daily data on close-to-close price movement and the daily range, we find that standard models do not fit the data very well and that a more general three-factor model does better, as it mimics the long-memory feature of financial volatility. We develop techniques for estimating the conditional distribution of the forward integrated variance given observed variables. I. Introductionread more

A Tale of Two Time Scales: Determining Integrated Volatility With Noisy High-Frequency Data
TL;DR: Under this framework, it becomes clear why and where the “usual” volatility estimator fails when the returns are sampled at the highest frequencies, and a way of finding the optimal sampling frequency for any size of the noise.

Roughing It Up: Including Jump Components in the Measurement, Modeling, and Forecasting of Return Volatility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a framework for non-parametric measurement of the jump component in asset return volatility and find that jumps are both highly prevalent and distinctly less persistent than the continuous sample path variation process.

Conditional heteroskedasticity in asset returns: a new approach
TL;DR: In this article, an exponential ARCH model is proposed to study volatility changes and the risk premium on the CRSP Value-Weighted Market Index from 1962 to 1987, which is an improvement over the widely-used GARCH model.
