The wellknown negative skewness of aggregate U.S. stock market returns is also consistent with a 1 The literature apparently began with Erb, Harvey, and Viskanta (1994) Additional evidence and references are in Longin and Solnick (2000) and Ang and Bekaert (1999) 1 model in which common shocks occasionally exhibit downward jumps. 2 Why is non market volatility higher when the overall market rises I argue that this pattern is a consequence of positive skewness in business sector news. I use this term to refer to news that is big enough to a#ect the ....

....distribution) In each case, the distribution of corr t conditional on being in the high volatility state is clearly shifted to the right. A similar correlation effect in volatility has been documented for international equity returns by Solnik, Boucrelle and Le Fur (1996) among others, while Ang and Bekaert (1999) have explored the optimal portfolio implications of such an effect. Of course, given that the high frequency returns are positively correlated, some separation is to be expected (e.g. Ronn, 1998, and Forbes and Rigobon, 1999) However, the magnitude of the effect is nonetheless noteworthy. 5. ....
....to the overall level of volatility, the lower numerical values suggest that the benefits to international diversification may be the greatest over longer investment horizons. 6. 2 The Conditional Distribution: Dynamic Dependence, Fractional Integration and Scaling Andersen, Bollerslev and Lange (1999) have recently shown that, given the estimates typically obtained at 15 the daily level, from a theoretical perspective the integrated volatility should remain strongly serially correlated and highly predictable under temporal aggregation, even at the monthly level. The Ljung Box statistics ....
