Abstract

There has been a rapid growth of range volatility due to the demand of empirical finance. This paper contains a review of the important development of range volatility, including a variety of range definitions and range-based volatility models. In addition, range-based multivariate volatility models and realized range are also considered here. At last, this paper suggests some possible and relevant financial applications for range volatility.
