Conclusions<br />

• We introduce a new form of volatility index – the<br />

cross-sectional volatility index – and provide<br />

examples for three <strong>Asia</strong>n universes.<br />

• Through formal arguments, we demonstrate that the<br />

new index is a measure of the average idiosyncratic<br />

volatility in the corresponding universe.<br />

• Examples indicate that the pan-<strong>Asia</strong>n indices are<br />

closely related to the option-implied indicators,<br />

where available.<br />

• CSV indicators can be easily created for other <strong>Asia</strong>n<br />

universes/sectors and can be used as volatility<br />

proxies.
