We introduce the notion of realized copula. Based on assumptions of the marginal distributions of daily stock returns and a copula family, realized copula is defined as the copula structure materialized in realized covariance estimated from within-day high-frequency data. Copula parameters are...

Equity index implied volatility functions are known to be excessively skewed in comparison with implied volatility at the single stock level. We study this stylized fact for the case of a major German stock index, the DAX, by recovering index implied volatility from simulating the 30 dimensional...

A dynamic copula model is introduced, in which the copula structure is inferred from the realized covariance matrix estimated from within-day high-frequency data. The estimation is carried out in a method-of-moments fashion using Hoeffding's lemma. Applying this procedure day by day gives rise...
