Don't forget that historical estimates of volatility are, in general, smaller than market-implied volatilities.

comment Why FX Vanilla Options are quoted in volatility
In addition to OTC options, there exist a few other markets where quoting conventions are in terms of a (standard) model rather than on true price. High-grade corporate CDS and bonds are quoted in spread terms, CDX are quoted in bond-like price terms, tranche protection in implied correlation terms, and convertible bonds in price/delta/underlying terms. And for exchange-traded contracts, we have eurodollar futures which are quoted as an affine transformation of LIBOR.

comment Are there any derivatives which pay amount $a(p-b)^{2}-c$ where $p$ is the price of underling asset?
They're sometimes called "power contracts" and though I've known them to be coded into the pricing libraries of at least 2 big investment banks, I've never seen one on the books.

comment What data transformations to use in regression of credit spreads on equity prices?
I agree with Freddy here. There's too much going on to expect any kind of reasonable predictive outcome from VAR or GARCH.
