This paper investigates the joint time series behavior of monthly stock returns and growth in industrial production. We find that stock returns are well characterized by year-long episodes of high volatility, separated by longer quiet periods. Real output growth, on the other hand, is subject to abrupt changes in the mean associated with economic recessions. We study a bivariate model in which these two changes are driven by related unobserved variables, and conclude that economic recessions are the primary factor that drives fluctuations in the volatility of stock returns. This framework proves useful both for forecasting stock volatility and for identifying and forecasting economic turning points.

This study uses a disaggregated approach to study the volatility of common stocks at the market, industry, and firm levels. Over the period from 1962 to 1997 there has been a noticeable increase in firm-level volatility relative to market volatility. Accordingly, correlations among individual stocks and the explanatory power of the market model for a typical stock have declined, whereas the number of stocks needed to achieve a given level of diversification has increased. All the volatility measures move together countercyclically and help to predict GDP growth. Market volatility tends to lead the other volatility series. Factors that may be responsible for these findings are suggested. Copyright The American Finance Association 2001.

The paper empirically analyzes the relationship between India VIX and volatility in Indian stock market. India VIX is a measure of implied volatility which reflects markets’ expectation of future short-term stock market volatility. It is a volatility index based on the index option prices of Nifty. The study is based on time series data comprising of daily closing values of CNX Nifty 50 index comprising of 1656 observations from March 2009 to December 2015. The results of the study reveal that India VIX has predictive power for future short-term stock market volatility. It has higher forecasting ability for upward stock market movements as compared to downward movements. Therefore, it is more a bullish indicator. Moreover, the accuracy of forecasts provided by India VIX is higher for low magnitude future price changes relative to higher stock price movements. The current value of India VIX is found to be affected by past period volatility up to one month and it has forecasting ability for next one-month’s volatility which means the volatility in the Indian stock markets can be forecasted for up to 60 days period.
