Assessing the Impact of the Realized Range on the (E)GARCH Volatility: Evidence from Brazil

This paper investigates whether the inclusion of the realized range as regressor in the (E)GARCH volatility equation would add information to the process improving out - of - sample forecasts performance and providing more accurate estimates of the volatility persistence. Sixte...
