| Abstract: |
We investigate the performances of the ARFIMA, HAR, and EGARCH models in capturing the time-varying property of idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL). We find that the expected IVOL predictions by HAR are superior. In diverse portfolio scenarios, a greater degree of judgment is required to assess the pricing ability of expected IVOLs. For the lowest value-weighted quintiles and the expected IVOL estimated by the HAR model, the IVOL-return relationship is negative. Conversely, the IVOL-return relationship is positive for the expected IVOL estimated by the EGARCH model. Further evidence suggests a complicated and mixed relationship between the expected IVOL estimated by the ARFIMA model and stock returns. |
