摘要
In this paper, an effective way to forecast stock volatility by selecting dynamic thresholds of the VIX is explored. We examine the predictability of the VIX and its above-threshold values for the S&P 500. Our results indicate that selecting thresholds for the VIX can significantly improve the forecast accuracy. From the out-of-sample R2 statistics, we find that the above-threshold VIX has a better forecasting performance during expansions.
