dc.description.abstract We examine the predictive value of tail risks of oil returns for the realized variance of oil returns using monthly data for the modern oil industry (1859:10–2020:10). The Conditional Autoregressive Value at Risk (CAViaR) framework is employed to generate the tail risks for both 1% and 5% VaRs across four variants of the CAViaR framework. We find evidence of both in-sample and out-of-sample predictability emanating from both 1% and 5% tail risks. Given the importance of real-time oil-price volatility forecasts, our results have important implications for investors and policymakers. en_US
