10%, 5%, and 1% critical values are 0.685, 1.079, and 2.098, respectively, when there is only one excess parameter. P represents the number of one-step-ahead forecasts and R the sample size of the first estimation window. The AR(3)-VVIX(1) benchmark corresponds to model 1. , , and . Source: authors’ elaboration.
