Abstract: This paper is the first to provide a demand-based equilibrium model of volatility trading with three kinds of traders (dealers, asset managers and leveraged funds) which complements Eraker and Wu's (2017) consumption-based equilibrium model. Our theoretical results are consistent with existing empirical observations, and two endogenous cases reach the same conclusion. Our novel model links together risk aversion, market price of the volatility risk, variance risk premium, VIX futures price and return and futures trading activities. This allows us to test empirically the impact of the three traders' net positions on the VRP and the VIX futures return.
