1 Relaionship beween Implied Volailiy Index and is Undelying Make Index Compaison beween Chinese and Ameican Make Zheng Chengli HuaZhong Nomal Univesiy School of Economics and Business Adminisaion Wuhan China Yao Yinhong HuaZhong Nomal Univesiy School of Economics and Business Adminisaion Wuhan China Absac: We analysis he elaionship beween implied volailiy and is undelying make index, fom 5..9 o 6.. in Chinese make and fom 4.. o 6.. in Ameican make. Though he egession beween implied volailiy index and is undelying make index, and he egession wih he lag of hem, hen he pospecive analysis of implied volailiy index. We find ha in Ameican make, hee is a negaive and asymmeic elaionship beween implied volailiy index (VIX) change ae and he S&P 5 index (SPX) log euns ae, and he influence of coesponding peiod is moe significan and he lags also have is influence, hee is also a mean eveing effec, he VIX index is fowad-looking wihin a elaively sho peiod of ime. While in Chinese make, he elaionship beween Chinese implied volailiy index (ivix) and ShangHai 5 index (SSEX) is no significan, ivix change ae and he SSEX log eun ae has a significan invese elaion, each of hem has mean eveing effec, ivix index change ae does no eflec he fowad-looking in he eseach sample. Key wods: implied volailiy; egess analysis; negaive and asymmeic elaionship; mean eveing pocess; fowad-looking I. Inoducion VIX index, measuing he degee of sock pice flucuaions in he fuue, is an impoan index fo invesos o judge he cuen make, hus analyzing he elaionship beween he volailiy index and is undelying sock make index is vey impoan. Ealy in 973, when sock opion ading was began, he Chicago Boad Opions Exchange (CBOE) had he idea o consuc volailiy index. Gasineau (977) [] calculaed he aveage consucion volailiy index by he implied volailiy of in-he-money call opion on he 4 socks. Cox and Rubisein (985) [] impoved Gasineau s mehod of ceaing index volailiy and he new mehod conains moe opions of a same socks, weighing volailiy on he opion's expiaion ime. In 993, Whaley poposed he esablishmen of make volailiy index o measue he degee of sock pice flucuaions in he fuue. [3] In he same yea, he Chicago Boad Opions Exchange (CBOE) developed volailiy index based on he implied volailiy of

2 S&P index opions and calculaed he VIX index since 986 using he hisoical daa. In 3, CBOE and Goldman amelioaed volailiy index wih undelying S&P 5 index opions, which is depend on he in-he-money and ou-of-he-money opion of he S&P 5 index fo execuive pice and is based on he Model-Fee Implied Volailiy deduced by Bien-Jones and Neubege () [4]. The implied volailiy index eflecs he expeced volailiy ae of S&P 5 wihin monh in fuue, also known as "fea gauge". I eflecs he sock pice volailiy expecaion of invesos in he fuue. highe Index, highe inveso's demand fo opions, which means invesos feel moe uneasy on he sock make siuaion in he fuue; lowe index, lowe inveso's demand fo opions, eflecing a compae sable and smooh make, ha means volailiy index can be used as a measue ool of make isk. Figue shows he change beween he U.S. make S&P5 index and VIX (he hoizonal axis shows ime ineval , he lef veical axis shows he closing pice on SPX, he igh veical axis shows closing pice on VIX). Oveall i shows a elaionship of phase change beween VIX and SPX, fom Januay 4 o middle 7, he VIX usually beween -; in he second half of 7, VIX ising gadually; on Novembe 8, eaching he highes poin; he ohe seveal highs wee elaed o Euopean soveeign deb cisis, he soveeign deb cisis in he Unied Saes, he global unsable facos (he Chinese economy cooled, Geek elecions). 4 NOV 8 Financial Cisis SPX VIX May' AUG' 5 May' FIGURE VIX AND S&P 5 INDEX CLOSING PRICE CHANGE TREND Since volailiy's esablishmen in he Unied Saes in 993, Euex, he Taiwan Fuues Exchange, India's naional sock exchange, he Koea sock exchange, he Osaka Secuiies Exchange, he Hong Kong Sock Exchange have launched hei own implied volailiy index. Chinese implied volailiy index (ivix) was eleased by he Shanghai Sock Exchange o measue he expeced volailiy of Shanghai 5ETF fo he nex 3 days. Chinese ivix is esablished by calculaing Shanghai 5ETF opion pices on he basis of he vaiance swap pinciple. The Chinese ivix was fis eleased on June 6 5 and he saing dae was Febuay 9 5, when he Shanghai 5ETF opions was lised. The Chinese ivix index daily eleased end-of-day and inaday daa afe closing quoaion. In he Chinese make, he sample socks of SSE 5 index is fomed by 5 mos epesenaive socks on he Shanghai sock make. I can eflec he oveall siuaion of he mos make influence enepise on he Shanghai sock make. Shanghai 5ETF opions is a domesic finge ading opening index fund undelying he SSE 5 index. This pape analyses on he elaionship beween he ivix and he SSE 5 index, and compaes he China make o he Unied Saes make.

3 II. Lieaue Review Thee ae los of empiical analysis on he elaionship beween implied volailiy and is undelying make index. Whaley(993) [3] gave he implied volailiy index consucion, and poined ha he invese elaionship beween VIX and OEX wee no pefec. Fleming, Osdied and Whaley (995) [5] analyzed he daily and weekly VXO index(he implied volailiy on he S&P index opion) fom 986 o 993, hen fond ha he fis-ode auocoelaion of daily changes is significanly negaive, he negaive fis-ode auocoelaion of weekly changes is moe ponounced, and hee was a lage negaive conempoaneous coelaion and asymmey elaionship beween VIX changes and S&P index euns, hey hough VIX pefoms well as a volailiy foecas. Maggie and Thomas(999) [6] found ha VIX change ae is saisically significan leading indicaos of daily make euns. Whaley() [7] found ha high levels of VIX ae coinciden wih high degees of make umoil hough analyzing he las 4 yeas hisoy seious daa. Whaley() [7] found ha hee is a song negaive and asymmeic elaionship beween conempoaneous changes in implied volailiy indexes and he undelying sock indexes fo boh he S&P and he Nasdaq, and exemely high levels of implied volailiy signal aacive buy poins fo ades who wan o ake long posiions in he undelying index. Banejee Doan and Peeson(7) [9] found ha hee was a songe volailiy of VIX deivaives. Hibbe, Daigle and Dupoye(8) [] poved ha he song daily and inaday negaive eun-implied volailiy elaion, boh he pesence and magniude of he negaive elaion and he asymmey beween eun and implied volailiy iindex ae mos closely associaed wih exeme changes in he index euns. Becke Clemens and McClelland(9) [] found ha he VIX index boh subsumes infomaion elaing o pas jump conibuions o aal volailiy and eflecs incemenal infomaion peaining o fuue jump aciviy. Chow, Jiang and Li(4) [] hough ha VIX undesaes he ue volailiy wihou imposing any sucue on he undelying focing pocess. Those lieaues mainly confimed ha hee is a negaive and asymmeic elaionship beween implied volailiy change ae and is undelying make index eun ae, and he implied volailiy is fowad-looking. Los of he eseach ae on Ameican make, based on he above schola expeience, we inegae and opimize he eseach mehods o analysis he elaionship beween ivix and SSE 5 index. Fisly, we analysis he saisical chaaceisics of he ime seies. In addiion, invesigaing he conempoaneous elaionship beween ivix change ae and SSE 5 index logaihmic eun ae. Moeove, examining he eun-volailiy elaion wih hei lags. Finally, judging he VIX index is a fowad-looking indicao o no. In his pocession, compaed o he Ameican make, we analysis he effeciveness of ivix in Chinese make. III. Implied Volailiy Index Consucion VIX is an index, like he Dow Jones Indusial Aveage (DJIA), compued on a eal-ime basis houghou each ading day, he only meaningful diffeence is ha i measues volailiy no pice. [6] VIX based on index opions ahe han sock opions, and VIX is based on he implied volailiies of boh call and pu opions. [5] We need hee ypes of infomaion o compuing hese componen implied volailiies [5] : an opion valuaion model, he values of he model's deeminaes(expec fo volailiy) and an obseved opion pice. VIX s consucion is based on he Black-Scholes(973) [3] and Meon(973b) [4]. Accoding o he Whie pape of Chicago Boad Opions Exchange, he genealized fomula used in he VIX calculaion is:

We can see ha ivix eached he highes poin in June 9h a he fis ime, and he sock make in China occued in sevee shock. And he second ime was a he end of Augus, he eason is ha he RMB's devaluaion and he change of inenaional make of moneay policy. Fom hese wo pominen ineval, ivix eflecs inveso' fea on he Chinese make. bu in geneal, he coelaion coefficien beween ivix and SSE 5 index is posiive, hey change in he same diecion mos of he ime FIGURE IVIX AND SSE 5 INDEX CLOSING PRICE CHANGE TREND. SSEX ivix B. Conempoaneous changes in he sock and implied volailiy Accoding o Whaley(), Gio(5), he elaionship beween implied volailiy index and is undelying make index is negaive and asymmeic. We will sudy he ineacion beween implied volailiy and is undelying index fom boh posiive and negaive change. Since ivix and VIX have song fis-ode auocoelaion of, he auocoelaion coefficien eached.95 and.98 especively,

Table gives he egess esuls beween implied volailiy and is undelying make index of Chinese make and Ameican make, Whie s heeoscedasic consisen sandad eos ae epoed in all cases (he same below). In Ameican make, he egession equaion and he egession coefficiens ae all significan. The esimaed ineceps of hose wo egession equaions ae close o zeo, his means ha if he S&P5 index does no change ove he day, he change of VIX should be negligible. Similaly, if he VIX does no change ove he day, he change of S&P5 index should be negligible. So, VIX and S&P 5 index end o follow a mean-eveing pocess, which means he explained vaiable ends o he mean level. is unequal o, which indicaes hee is a negaive elaionship beween and VIX no mae go up o down, and he effec is SPX, SPX,

So, VIX index can eflec inveso feas of make downwad. is geae han, which indicaes ha changes much moe when VIX changes in posiive han negaive way, so SPX, invesos ae moe sensiive on he ising of VIX index. In Chinese make, he egession equaion and he egession coefficiens ae no significan a 9% level, so i is meaningless o analysis he equaion.
