Abstract: This article provides a new linear state space model with time-varying parameters for forecasting financial volatility. The volatility estimates obtained from the model by using the US stock market data almost exactly match the realized volatility. We further compare our model with traditional volatility models in the ex post volatility forecast evaluations. In particular, we use the superior predictive ability and the reality check for data snooping. Evidence can be found supporting that our simple but powerful regression model provides superior forecasts for volatility.
