Outline of Final Research Achievements

First, we propose dynamic futures hedging models in minimizing downside risks. The results show the possibility that our models perform well and the use of high-frequency measures improves the hedging performance. Second, we investigate a role of time-varying option-implied jump tail risk for predicting credit spreads. We find that the implied jump tail risk could strongly predict lower-rated credit spreads and default spreads in Japan. Third, we calculate realized downside jump variation using high-frequency data. We find that a nontrivial portion of the overall variation would be attributed to the jump variation in periods of very high fluctuation of stock index.
