    Abstract High-frequency data tend to be costly, subject to microstructure noise, difficult to manage, and lead to high computational costs. Is it always worth the extra effort? We compare the forecasting accuracy of low- and high-frequency volatility models on the market of six major foreign exchange market (FX) pairs. Our results indicate that for short-forecast horizons, high-frequency models dominate their low-frequency counterparts, particularly in periods of increased volatility. With an increased forecast horizon, low-frequency volatility models become competitive, suggesting that if high-frequency data are not available, low-frequency data can be used to estimate and predict long-term volatility in FX markets.

    Abstract Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, stock markets around the world have experienced unprecedented declines amid high uncertainty. In this paper, we use Google search volume activity as a gauge of panic and fear. The chosen search terms are specific to the coronavirus crisis and correspond to phrases related to nonpharmaceutical intervention policies to fight physical contagion. We show that during this period, fear of the coronavirus - manifested as excess search volume - represents a timely and valuable data source for forecasting stock price variation around the world.

    Abstract This paper investigates volatility forecasting for crude oil and natural gas. The main objective of our research is to determine whether the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model of Corsi (2009) can be outperformed by harnessing information from a related energy commodity. We find that on average, information from related commodity does not improve volatility forecasts, whether we consider a multivariate model, or various univariate models that include this information. However, superior volatility forecasts are produced by combining forecasts from various models. As a result, information from the related commodity can be still useful, because it allows us to construct wider range of possible models, and averaging across various models improves forecasts. Therefore, for somebody interested in precise volatility forecasts of crude oil or natural gas, we recommend to focus on model averaging instead of just including information from related commodity in a single forecast model.

    Abstract We test a sample of 3,586 banks from 33 European countries to determine whether performances above or below a social aspiration level (median performance of peer banks) influence banks' aggregate risk levels. Our results are consistent with the behavioral theory of the firm and prospect theory in that we find that bank performance below a bank's social aspiration level is followed by increased aggregate risk, i.e., risk-taking behavior in the subsequent year. Although under-performing banks tend to be risk-takers, large banks and banks with high aggregate risk levels tend to limit the increase in their aggregate risk levels.

    Abstract Stock market returns are difficult to predict, but crisis periods tend to be an exception to this rule We document that, during the event period from November 2019 to May 2020 with the S&P 500 market index, the corona crash was not an exception We use a nonlinear autoregressive model, where the autoregressive coefficient is governed by i) abnormal Google searches related to COVID-19 and ii) realized volatility We find that the autoregressive coefficient was negative over the whole event period, but as market uncertainty and attention to virus increased, the magnitude of the autoregressive coefficient increased as well

    Abstract Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, stock markets around the world have experienced unprecedented declines, which have resulted in extremely high stock market uncertainty, measured as price variation. In this paper, we show that during such periods, Google Trends data represent a timely and valuable data source for forecasting price variation. Fear of the coronavirus, as measured by Google searches is predictive of future stock market uncertainty for stock markets around the world. Google searches were also strongly correlated with the evolution of physical contagion (the number of new cases), and with implemented nonpharmaceutical interventions. The effect of pandemic-related policies on investors' attention and fear is thus very well captured by Google Trends data.
