Introduction and Motivation
Why volatility?
“Time-varying volatility is endemic in financial markets.”
Shephard and Andersen (2009, p. 233)
2 / 27
Introduction and Motivation
Motivation
• Importance of understanding, modeling and forecasting volatility:+ We quantify risk.
• Applications:+ Option valuation (dynamic volatility)+ Risk management (VaR, ES)+ Portfolio optimization and asset allocation

Introduction and Motivation Research Question
Research Question
Explain: Insights into the “anatomy” of volatility:
1 Identify small groups of influential drivers from manypotential factors for the stock market.
2 Identify volatility regimes of these drivers.3 Quantify regime dependence.4 Econometric challenge: large set of potential factors (model
selection)
Forecast: Can we use these factors to forecast volatility?

Forecasting Strategy
• Sample period: December 1989 to December 2010 (253 months)
• Estimation: 38 regressors with first and second lag (q = 38, p = 2) andfirst and second lag of realized volatility (s = 2) and changes of realizedvolatilityIn total: r = 84 predictors
• Rolling window scheme (window size: 153 months)
• Evaluation period: June 2002 to September 2010 (100 months)
• Direct forecasting approach; multi-period forecasts for one to six months
• Forecast evaluation by mean squared error. We will compare ex-post(realized volatility) estimations σ2

Sources of Improvement I
Forecasting accuracy is largely attributable to both the explanatory power ofthe drivers allowing drivers to affect volatility in a nonlinear fashion.
To disentangle these two sources of improvement, we adjust the model and uselinear instead of piecewise constant base learners by specifying

Summary and Conclusion
• Boosting with regression trees identifies macro and financial factors thatdrive the volatility of the S&P500
• Insights into the “anatomy” of volatility:1 Identify small groups of influential drivers for stock market2 Identify volatility regimes of these drivers.3 Quantify regime dependence.
• The influence of the factors is highly nonlinear for horizon 3 and onwards.
• Forecasts for stock volatility significantly outperforms the GARCH(1,1)and EGARCH(1,1) model, especially for medium and long horizons.
