Estimating volatility-of-volatility: a comparative analysis
This paper compares four volatility-of-volatility estimates with the CBOE’s VVIX index for prediction accuracy. Hybrid estimates, combining historical and model-based components, show closer alignment with VVIX. Practical limitations are briefly noted.
