| Abstract: | We introduce the Realized Exponential GARCH model that can utilize multiple realized volatility measures for the modeling of a return series. The model specifies the dynamic properties of both returns and realized measures, and is characterized by a flexible modeling of the dependence between returns and volatility. We apply the model to DJIA stocks and an exchange traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 index and find that specifications with multiple realized measures dominate those that rely on a single realized measure. The empirical analysis suggests some convenient simplifications and highlights the advantages of the new specification. |

| Abstract: | Contrary to existing event studies around option listing introductions, we show short selling and options trading are complements, rather than substitutes. Further, while a plethora of literature demonstrates both short sellers and option traders are informed traders, relatively little is known about which group is relatively more informed. The results of our dynamic tests indicate that options traders are relatively more informed and that short sellers are backward-looking. Our results support the claim that options markets are non-redundant. |
