- Estimation of stochastic volatility leverage models for a panel of stock returns for 24 S&P500 firms from six industries.
- News are measured as differences between daily return and a monthly moving average of past returns.
- Highly significant statistical evidence of the news feedback on volatility.
- Four sectors in our data set exhibit significant and internally fairly consistent leverage effects.
- For two sectors there is a negative partial correlation between volatility and news.
We estimate stochastic volatility leverage models for a panel of stock returns for 24 S&P 500 firms from six industries. News are measured as differences between daily return and a monthly moving average of past returns. We estimate the models by maximum likelihood using an Efficient Importance Sampling method which produces numerically highly accurate estimates of the likelihood and related test-statistics. We find significant leverage effects for all 24 stocks. These effects are fairly consistent within each industry but there are significant differences across two groups of industries. Our models produce significant improvement in volatility predictability.
