Abstract
This study explores the predictive ability of three decomposed realized measures for the US stock market using the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) framework. From the in-sample analysis, we find that all the decomposed realized measures have a significant positive impact on future stock volatility. Moreover, the predictive model, including moderate and extreme volatility, outperforms the related competing models via out-of-sample analysis. We also investigate the predictive sources of moderate and extreme volatility by considering sub-sample and high and low volatility level, and find that the main ability of them is reflected in the low fluctuation period. Furthermore, using a portfolio exercise, we show that the decompositions of moderate and extreme volatility can substantially increase the economic value. Finally, we extend our empirical analysis considering different forecast horizons and non-linear model with regime-switching.
