Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Standard idiosyncratic volatility (IV) measures are fundamentally misspecified. • No traded asset has zero variance return. We identify the true IV measure. • True-versus-standard IV ratio lies in [0,1], implying unbounded measurement errors. • Errors are arbitrary, nonlinear, and nonmonotonic. No econometric fix exists. • Studies using standard IV measures can be severely and unpredictably distorted.
