Forecasting Realized Volatility with Time Series Foundation Models: A Comparison with Econometric Benchmarks
时间序列基础模型预测已实现波动率:与计量基准的比较
We ask whether pretrained time series foundation models (TSFMs) improve on established econometric benchmarks for forecasting realized volatility. Using the VOLARE dataset, we conduct the first systematic comparison of nine zero-shot TSFMs against eight econometric specifications, including the Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) family, across 50 assets in equities, foreign exchange, and futures, and three forecast horizons, with formal pairwise and multi-model…
