Data for: Volatility-of-Volatility Risk in Asset Pricing
Description
VOV data. 1) VOV: For each day, we estimate VOV by calculating the realized bipower variance from a series of five-minute model-free implied market variance within the day, using the high-frequency S&P 500 index option data. 2) ΔVOV: The innovations in market volatility-of-volatility (ΔVOV) is computed as the ARMA(1,1) model residual of the market volatility-of-volatility (VOV). To calculate implied volatility, we use the tick-by-tick quote data for the S&P 500 index (SPX) options from CBOE’s Market Data Report (MDR) tapes over the time period from January 1996 to December 2015.
