Abstract: This paper employs a shrinkage method named Adaptive Lasso (ALasso) to predict the realized volatility (RV) of the China's stock market with numerous predictors. We observed from the out‐of‐sample predictions that the ALasso model exhibits better predictive power than its competitors, implying that the ALasso method can select stronger predictors in the forecasting process than competing models. In addition, the predictability of ALasso method is better in low volatility periods than in high volatility periods. Finally, several robustness check methods, including different forecasting windows, different low and high volatility division, and different volatility measures, supported our results.
