Relating Stochastic Volatility Estimation Methods
Estimation of the volatility of time series has taken off since the introduction of the GARCH and stochastic volatility models. While variants of the GARCH model are applied in scores of articles, use of the stochastic volatility model is less widespread. In this article it is argued that one reason for this difference is the relative difficulty of estimating the unobserved stochastic volatilit...
متن کاملVolatility estimation for stochastic project value models
Consolidation of multiple sources of uncertainty into a single stochastic process for project value can provide increased computational flexibility for the analysis of complex real option valuation problems. Nonetheless, the volatility, a critical parameter in the stochastic project value model, is systematically overstated by the existing estimation methods, which can result in incorrect optio...
متن کاملInference Methods for Stochastic Volatility Models
In the present paper we consider estimation procedures for stationary Stochastic Volatility models, making inferences about the latent volatility of the process. We show that a sequence of generalized least squares regressions enables us to determine the estimates. Finally, we make inferences iteratively by using the Kalman Filter algorithm.
متن کاملMcMC Estimation of Multiscale Stochastic Volatility Models
In this paper we propose to use Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods to estimate the parameters of Stochastic Volatility Models with several factors varying at different time scales. The originality of our approach, in contrast with classical factor models is the identification of two factors driving univariate series at well-separated time scales. This is tested with simulated data as well as fore...
متن کاملImproved Quasi Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Stochastic Volatility Models
Jacquier Polson and Rossi J Business and Economic Statistics have pro posed a hierarchical model and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology for parameter estima tion and smoothing in a stochastic volatility model where the logarithm of the conditional vari ance follows an autoregressive process In sampling experiments their estimators perform par ticularly well relative to a quasi maximum likelih...
