Using two years of Standard & Poor’s 500, Eurostoxx 50 and DAX data, Mehdi El Amrani and Julien Guyon empirically investigate the term structure of the at-the-money forward skew of equity indexes. While a power law (two parameters) captures the term structure accurately beyond short maturities, the power-law fit deteriorates considerably when short maturities are
