7 There are numerous applications of Google search volume data in financial research Measuring interest Literature Large stock market movements capture investors attention Why should searches be helpful to predict volatility? Measure of retail investors attention: individual stocks (Da, Engelberg, Gao, 2011, Journal of Finance) Weekly stock market volatility (Vlastakis and Markellos, 2012, Journal of Banking & Finance) The sum of all FEARS: Investor sentiment and asset prices (Da, Engelberg, Gao, 2014, The Review of Financial Studies) Investor Pessimism and the German Stock Market: Exploring Google Search Queries (Dimpfl and Kleiman, forthcoming, German Economic Review) Googling Gold and Mining Bad News (Dimpfl and Baur, 2016, Resources Policy) Can we predict the financial markets based on Google s search queries? (Perlin, Caldeira, Santos and Pontuschka, 2017, Journal of Forecasting) Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 7 / 40
8 Large stock market movements capture investors attention Measuring interest Literature Large stock market movements capture investors attention Why should searches be helpful to predict volatility? Realized volatility Realized volatility of the Dow Jones Search queries for the index name Search Volume Index Contemporaneous correlation (RV-SQ):0.82 Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 8 / 40
9 Why should searches be helpful to predict volatility? Measuring interest Literature Large stock market movements capture investors attention Why should searches be helpful to predict volatility? Search queries proxy retail investors attention/interest Agent-based models of stock market volatility Lux & Marchesi (1999, Nature): two agents: fundamentalists and noise traders fundamental price shock noise trading volatility Recent evidence by Foucault et al. (2011, Journal of Finance): Noise traders contribute to volatility (approx. 23%) Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 9 / 40
10 What is Realized volatility The dataset Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation of realized volatilities and search queries Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 10 / 40
11 What is Realized volatility What is Realized volatility The dataset Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation simply put: RV is the daily variation of the price of a product, e.g. of a stock formally: RV is the (daily) standard deviation of the log returns of a stock Realized variance: RVar t = withn t the number of intervals per day n t i=0 r 2 t,i Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 11 / 40
12 Squared returns as a variance estimator typical model for returns: What is Realized volatility The dataset Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation r t = h t η t withη t i.i.d. N(0,1) On every day, prices are observed at every point in time τ i,τ i {τ 0,...,τ nt } during the day thenp t,i (i = 1,...,n t ) is thei-th observation on dayt return between two intradaily points of timeiandi 1: r t,i = h t,i η t,i withη t,i N(0, 1 n t ) r t,i = p t,i p t,i 1 Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 12 / 40
13 Squared returns as a variance estimator What is Realized volatility The dataset Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation Hence, we get daily values as r t = n t i=0 r t,i h t = 1 n t n t Aim: show thate [ r 2 t F t,0 ] = ht holds i=1 h t,i Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 13 / 40
14 Squared returns as a variance estimator What is Realized volatility The dataset Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation r 2 t = = ( nt i=0 n t i=0 E [ [ rt F 2 ] nt 0 = E r t,i ) 2 r 2 t,i +2 i=0 n t 1 i=0 r 2 t,i F 0 ] }{{} RVar +2E n t 1 i=0 n t j=t+1 n t j=t+1 r t,i r t,j r t,i r t,j F 0 Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 14 / 40
15 Squared returns as a variance estimator What is Realized volatility The dataset Under the assumption that returns are uncorrelated, we get E [ r 2 t F t,0 ] = E[RVar Ft,0 ] = h t Search term Dow or S&P 500 Autocorrelation and finally RV t = RVar t Thomas Dimpfl and Stephan Jank Can internet search queries help to predict stock market volatility? 15 / 40
