Description

The variance premia of developed markets (as proxied by MSCI EAFE Index), emerging markets (as proxied by MSCI Emerging Markets Index) and the US market (as proxied by S&P500 index). We define the Variance Risk Premium (VRP) as the difference between the ex-post realized return variation and the ex-ante risk-neutral expectation of the future return variation, as proxied by the respective implied volatility index.
