“…The literature studies document a strong asymmetric negative association between implied volatility index based on other markets such as stock (VIX), Euro (EZV), and Gold (GVZ) and the underlying index returns (Giot, 2005;Car and Wu, 2006;Whaley, 2009;Chiang, 2012;Pathak and Deb, 2020;Amoako et al, 2022) and all reported significant negative relations between the implied volatility indexes and underlying stock index returns. The four papers that come close to the current paper are Chen and Zou (2015), Shaikh (2019), Boateng et al (2021), and Echaust and Just (2021), and all also identified a significant inverse contemporaneous relationship between the asymmetric relationship between the OVX and energy commodity returns. Different models applied by these studies include GARCH models (Whaley, 2009), Granger causality (Chiang, 2012), Pooled regression models (Chiang, 2012), Kalman filter (Chen and Zou, 2015), Quantile regressions (Boateng et al, 2021;Shaikh, 2019), and Value-at-Risk (Echaust and Just, 2021).…”
