Abstract

This paper specifies a semiparametric variance impulse response function using realized variances. The news impact and impulse responses are estimated using local projection methods using least squares and external instruments. Compared to impulse responses estimated from parametric GARCH type models, semiparametric local projection responses show less persistence though the estimates are quite noisy.
