Weighted Median Realized Volatility and Its Application in China’s Stock Market

Article Preview

Abstract:

Median realized volatility is a new measure approach of volatility in high-frequency time series. Median realized volatility is model-free and can be computed easily. Weighted median realized volatility is a more efficient volatility measurement, which make median realized volatility become its special case. In this paper, we compare Median realized volatility and weighted Median realized volatility from four aspects: definition, bias, efficiency, calendar effect. Through the empirical study on the Shanghai stock market, this paper proves weighted Median realized volatility is superior to Median Realized Volatility.
