Estimation of affine term structure models with spanned or unspanned stochastic volatility
We develop new procedures for maximum likelihood estimation of affine term structure models with spanned or unspanned stochastic volatility. Our approach uses linear regression to reduce the dimension of the numerical optimization problem yet it produces the same estimator as maximizing the likelihood. It improves the numerical behavior of estimation by eliminating parameters from the objective...
متن کاملA Seasonal Stochastic Volatility Model for Futures Price Term Structure
Pricing and estimation issues of exponential aÆne stochastic volatility models are discussed. One speci c model is estimated with Chicago Board of Trade futures price data, where the instantaneous mean and volatility of commodity spot price are allowed to be time varying. Model performance is evaluated based on its t to the futures price term structure and the model implied state variable behav...
متن کاملEmpirical Implementation of a Term Structure Model with Stochastic Volatility
We provide the empirical implementation of the term-structure model developed in Fornari and Mele (1998). This model is based on a continuous time economy exhibiting equilibrium dynamics to which most asymmetric ARCH models converge in distribution as the sample frequency gets in nite. We obtain estimates of the model’s parameters that are based on an indirect inference scheme in which such con...
متن کاملStochastic Resonance can drive adaptive physiological processes
Stochastic resonance (SR) is a concept from the physics and engineering communities that has applicability to both systems physiology and other living systems. In this paper, it will be argued that stochastic resonance plays a role in driving behavior in neuromechanical systems. The theory of stochastic resonance will be discussed, followed by a series of expected outcomes, and two tests of sto...
متن کاملMoments Structure of -Stochastic Volatility Models
We consider Taylor’s stochastic volatility model when the innovations of the hidden log-volatility process have a Laplace distribution (`1 exponential density), rather than the standard Gaussian distribution (`2) usually employed. Using a distribution with heavier tails allows better modeling of the abrupt changes of regime observed in financial time series. We derive here the moments and autoc...
