摘要: 黄金作为重要的避险资产,对其价格波动的定量描述和预测对于各类投资者的风险管理决策意义重大。基于标准回归预测模型,采用主成分分析、组合预测和两种主流的模型缩减方法(Elastic net 和Lasso)构建新的波动率预测模型,探究哪种方法能够更有效地利用多个预测因子信息。进一步,运用模型信度集合(model confidence set,MCS)、样本外R2和方向测试(Direction-of-Change,DoC)三种评价方法检验新模型的样本外预测精度。实证结果显示:不论是基于哪一种评价方法,相比其它竞争模型,两种缩减模型的样本外预测精度均为最优,可以为我国黄金期货价格的波动率预测提供可靠保障。

关键词: 已实现波动率;高频数据;组合预测;机器学习;Elastic net;Lasso

Abstract: As an important safe-haven asset, the quantitative description and prediction of the price volatility of gold is of great significance to the risk management decisions for various investors. Based on the standard regression model, principal component analysis, combination forecast, and two model shrinkage methods (i.e., Elastic net and Lasso) are employed to design new volatility prediction models and investigate which method can more effectively use the information of multiple predictors. In addition, the model confidence set (MCS), out-of-sample R2, Direction-of-change (DoC) evaluation methods are used to assess the out-of-sample prediction accuracy of the new models. The empirical results show that no matter which evaluation method is used, compared with other competition models, the out-of-sample prediction accuracy of the two shrinkage models is the best, which can provide a reliable guarantee for the volatility forecast of China's gold futures prices.

Key words: realized volatility; high-frequency data; combination forecast; machine learning; Elastic net; Lasso
