Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho faz uma comparação empírica entre previsões da volatilidade do retomo da taxa de câmbio entre o real e o dólar, obtidas por meio de um modelo de séries temporais com mudança de regime na variância condicional, o SWARCH de Hamilton e Susmel (1994), e da volatilidade implícita nos preços de opções sobre aquele ativo, negociadas na Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo (BM&F). A comparação é feita por meio de regressões que avaliam o poder de predição e o conteúdo informacional das previsões. Os resultados apontam que considerar distintos estados para a volatilidade do retorno da taxa de câmbio faz com que o desempenho do modelo de série de tempo seja melhor do que o da volatilidade implícita, produzindo, dessa forma, resultados inversos aos constatados na literatura, onde se utilizam especificações sem mudança de regime, como o GARCH

Abstract in English
This article evaluates empirically the performance of two approaches for predicting the volatility of REAL/USD exchange rate return, one of those using a time series model with conditional variance subject to regime switch, the SWARCH model of Hamilton and Susmel (1994), and the other one based on the volatility implied in the price of options quoted at the Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros de São Paulo (BM&F). The comparison between those two approaches relies on regression based tests of predictive ability and informational content. The results show that the use of a time series model with distinct regimes of volatilityfor the return of the exchange rate outperforms the forecast obtained by implied volatility, contradicting, therefore, the evidences pointed out in the literature obtained with time series models with no regime switch in variance, such as GARCH
