In this paper we address the issue of forecasting Value–at–Risk (VaR) using different volatility measures: realized volatility, bipower realized volatility, two scales realized volatility, realized kernel as well as the daily range. We propose a dynamic model with a flexible trend specification bonded with a penalized maximum likelihood estimation strategy: the P-Spline Multiplicative Error Model. Exploiting Ultra–High Frequency Data (UHFD) volatility measures, VaR predictive ability is considerably improved upon relative to a baseline GARCH but not so relative to the range; there are gains from modeling volatility trends and from using realized kernels that are robust to dependent microstructure noise.

Abstract
In this paper we address the issue of forecasting Value–at–Risk (VaR) using different volatility measures: realized volatility, bipower realized volatility, two scales realized volatility, realized kernel as well as the daily range. We propose a dynamic model with a flexible trend specification bonded with a penalized maximum likelihood estimation strategy: the P-Spline Multiplicative Error Model. Exploiting Ultra–High Frequency Data (UHFD) volatility measures, VaR predictive ability is considerably improved upon relative to a baseline GARCH but not so relative to the range; there are gains from modeling volatility trends and from using realized kernels that are robust to dependent microstructure noise.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
