报告摘要：

Applying the partial least squares (PLS) approach to the entire implied volatility (IV) surface, we show that option prices predict downward jumps, but not upward jumps, in the underlying stock prices. The long-short portfolio formed based on the estimated downward jump factor yields an annual return of 18.36% with a Sharpe ratio of 1.29. The predictability of the downward jump factor is very robust and much stronger than that of other IV-related predictors. Finally, we show that the predictability is consistent with the notion that informed investors trade options to profit from negative information to circumvent the equity short-sale constraint.
