  1. This table provides the MCS p values of the four used models. In particular, we forecast the stock market (i.e., the S&P 500 Index) volatility instead of the oil futures market volatility in this table. Panels A, B, C, and D report the corresponding results for 1-day, 5-day, 10-day, and 22-day horizons, respectively. The mean combination uses the equally weighted average (that is, simple mean) of the individual HAR-RV and HAR-CJ forecasts, while our MoJ strategy switches between the HAR-RV and HAR-CJ forecasts based on their relatively past forecasting performance. The past forecasting performance is evaluated by a 5-day look-back period. The six considered loss functions are QLIKE, MSE, MAE, MSPE, MAPE, and MSE-LOG. Bold numbers highlight important instances in which the corresponding model falls into the MCS with the 10% significance level
