Volatilities play an important role in financial engineering and especially in the valuation of various forms of options. However, unlike prices, volatility is not directly observable in the market. They can only be estimated in the context of a model. Among all the options pricing models, Black-Scholes type pricing models have been widely used. The primary focus for this research is to test the accuracy of the Direct Implied Volatility Estimate (DIVE), the Historical Volatility Estimate (HV), and the Quadratic Formula Volatility Estimate (QIVE) against the implied volatility derived from Black's (1976) model, and to examine for potential accuracy loss of using them for "nearest-to-the-money" corn and cotton option premiums for the years 1990 to 2005, both in aggregate level and within each individual year. In order to pay particular attention to the futures contracts expiring at harvest time, December corn and cotton contracts are chosen. This study also tests and compares the stationarity and seasonality patterns presented in DIVE, QIVE against the two benchmarks HV and IV for December corn and cotton contracts. Stationarity tests show all four types of volatility estimate series are stationary time series data. Statistical results indicate that DIVE and QIVE are both accurate estimates for IV in both the aggregate and intra-year levels with same seasonality patterns at 5% significance level. 30-day HV estimate is not an accurate estimate for IV because its variance and mean are tested to be significantly different from the variance and mean of IV at 5% significance level.
