This paper investigates the efficiency of potential predictors from China and globally in predicting Chinese agricultural futures volatility using the REGARCH-MIDAS framework. The study finds that Chinese potential predictors outperform global potential predictors in forecasting the volatility of ten agricultural futures. Robustness tests, including different realized measures and forecasting windows, support these conclusions. The paper also examines the performance of predictors during different volatility levels and the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, this study provides new insights into the volatility prediction of Chinese agricultural futures markets.
This paper investigates whether the potential predictors from China and globally can efficiently predict Chinese agricultural futures volatility by adopting the REGARCH-MIDAS framework. We highlight the predictability of numerous Chinese potential predictors for forecasting ten agricultural futures volatility, which is relatively better than that of global potential predictors. Robustness tests such as different realized measure and different forecasting window confirm the above conclusions. Performances of predictors during different volatility levels, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic are further discussed. This paper tries to shed new light on the volatility prediction of Chinese agricultural futures markets.
