Markov Regime Switching Stochastic Volatility
This is a project on modeling time-varying volatility of S&P 500 weely return for the years 1990 to 2012 using Bayesian methods. First, MCMC on the log-stochastic volatility (SV) model is implemented with simulation results analyzed. Second, I generalize the SV model to encompass regime-switching properties with the markov switching log-stochastic volatility (MSSV) model, under which, high-vola...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of a Markov Switching Stochastic Volatility Model
This article analyzes a Markov switching stochastic volatility (MSSV) model to accommodate the shift in the mean of log-volatility. Since it is difficult to estimate the parameters in this model based on the maximum likelihood method, a Bayesian Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach is adopted. A particle filter for the MSSV model, which is used for model comparison and diagnostics, is const...
متن کاملA Laplace Stochastic Frontier Model
We propose a Laplace stochastic frontier model as an alternative to the traditional model with normal errors. An interesting feature of the Laplace model is that the distribution of inefficiency conditional on the composed error is constant for positive values of the composed error, but varies for negative values. Therefore, it may be ideally suited for analyzing industries with many forms on o...
متن کاملMarkov-switching stochastic trends and economic fluctuations
I investigate cointegrating relationships such that, even though the long-run attractors are assumed to be linear, the dynamics of the equilibrium errors depends on the business cycle. I postulate a Markov-switching common stochastic trends model to study both the short-run responses to permanent shocks and the e/ects of recessions in the long-run growth. I apply these 0ndings to explore the sh...
متن کاملStochastic Non-Parametric Frontier Analysis
In this paper we develop an approach that synthesizes the best features of the two main methods in the estimation of production efficiency. Specically, our approach first allows for statistical noise, similar to Stochastic frontier analysis, and second, it allows modeling multiple-inputs-multiple-outputs technologies without imposing parametric assumptions on production relationship, similar to...
