Modeling the Effective Factors on Economic Growth in Iran: Markov Switching GARCH Approach

Economic growth is one of the most important macroeconomic indicators in each country that its sustainability for a long time is one of the most basic and necessary conditions to achieve economic development.  The aim of this paper is modeling the effective factors of economic growth in Iran concerning the period 1973-2014 using a Markov switching GARCH model (MS-GARCH). The contribution of thi...

Theory and Inference for a Markov Switching Garch Model

We develop a Markov-switching GARCH model (MS-GARCH) wherein the conditional mean and variance switch in time from one GARCH process to another. The switching is governed by a hidden Markov chain. We provide sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity and existence of moments of the process. Because of path dependence, maximum likelihood estimation is not feasible. By enlarging the parameter...

A Bayesian MCMC Algorithm for Markov Switching GARCH models

Markov switching GARCH models have been developed in order to address the statistical regularity observed in financial time series such as strong persistence of conditional variance. However, Maximum Likelihood Estimation faces a implementation problem since the conditional variance depends on all the past history of state. This paper shows that this problem can be handled easily in Bayesian in...

Fads Models with Markov Switching Hetroskedasticity: decomposing Tehran Stock Exchange return into Permanent and Transitory Components

Stochastic behavior of stock returns is very important for investors and policy makers in the stock market. In this paper, the stochastic behavior of the return index of Tehran Stock Exchange (TEDPIX) is examined using unobserved component Markov switching model (UC-MS) for the 3/27/2010 until 8/3/2015 period. In this model, stock returns are decomposed into two components; a permanent componen...
