Giuseppe Storti 1 M ODELLING ASYMMETRIC VOLATILITY DYNAMICS BY MULTIVARIATE BL - GARCH MODELS

چکیده
The class of Multivariate BiLinear GARCH (MBL-GARCH) models is proposed and its statistical properties are investigated. The model can be regarded as a generalization to a multivariate setting of the univariate BLGARCH model proposed by Storti and Vitale (2003a; 2003b). It is shown how MBL-GARCH models allow to account for asymmetric effects in both conditional variances and correlations. An EM algorithm for the maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters is provided. Furthermore, in order to test for the appropriateness of the conditional variance and covariance specifications, a set of robust conditional moments test statistics are defined. Finally, the effectiveness of MBL-GARCH models in a risk management setting is assessed by means of an application to the estimation of the optimal hedge ratio in futures hedging.

Risk Management in Oil Market: A Comparison between Multivariate GARCH Models and Copula-based Models
H igh price volatility and the risk are the main features of commodity markets. One way to reduce this risk is to apply the hedging policy by future contracts. In this regard, in this paper, we will calculate the optimal hedging ratios for OPEC oil. In this study, besides the multivariate GARCH models, for the first time we use conditional copula models for modelling dependence struc...
متن کاملBilinear Garch Time Series Models
In this paper the class of BL-GARCH (Bilinear General AutoregRessive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) models is introduced. The proposed model is a modification to the BL-GARCH model proposed by Storti and Vitale (2003). Stationary conditions and autocorrelation structure for special cases of these new models are derived. Maximum likelihood estimation of the model is also considered. Some simula...

This paper examines the volatility dynamics of the greater China stock markets (Shanghai Aand Bshares, Shenzhen Aand B-shares, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) by employing a multivariate (tetravariate) framework that incorporates the features of asymmetries, persistence, and time-varying correlations, which are typically observed in stock markets of developed economies. Specifically, we introduce two ne...
متن کاملModelling Multivariate Asymmetric Financial Volatility
The univariate Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heterscedasticity (GARCH) model has successfully captured the symmetric conditional volatility in a wide range of time series financial returns. Although multivariate effects across assets can be captured through modelling the conditional correlations, the univariate GARCH model has two important restrictions in that it: (1) does not accommo...
