چکیده

In this note we reconsider the continuous time limit of the GARCH(1, 1) process. Let > k and p2 k denote, respectively, the cumulative returns and the volatility processes. We consider the continuous time approximation of the couple (> k , p2 k ). We show that, by choosing di!erent parameterizations, as a function of the discrete interval h, we can obtain either a degenerate or a non-degenerate di!usion limit. We then show that GARCH(1, 1) processes can be obtained as Euler approximations of degenerate di!usions, while any Euler approximation of a non-degenerate di!usion is a stochastic volatility process.

Continuous Time Approximations to GARCH and Stochastic Volatility Models

We collect some continuous time GARCH models and report on how they approximate discrete time GARCH processes. Similarly, certain continuous time volatility models are viewed as approximations to discrete time volatility models. 1 Stochastic volatility models and discrete GARCH Both stochastic volatility models and GARCH processes are popular models for the description of financial time series....

A Continuous Time GARCH Process Driven by a Lévy Process: Stationarity and Second Order Behaviour

We use a discrete time analysis, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of ARCH(1) and GARCH(1,1) discrete time models, to suggest an extension of the (G)ARCH concept to continuous time processes. Our “COGARCH” (continuous time GARCH) model, based on a single background driving Lévy process, is different from, though related to, other continuous time stochast...

Limit Experiments of GARCH

GARCH is one of the most prominent nonlinear time series models, both widely applied and thoroughly studied. Recently, it has been shown that the COGARCH model, which has been introduced a few years ago by Klüppelberg, Lindner and Maller, and Nelson’s diffusion limit are the only functional continuous-time limits of GARCH in distribution. In contrast to Nelson’s diffusion limit, COGARCH reprodu...

Limit Theory for the Sample Autocorrelations and Extremes of a Garch(1,1) Process

The asymptotic theory for the sample autocorrelations and extremes of a GARCH(1; 1) process is provided. Special attention is given to the case when the sum of the ARCH and GARCH parameters is close to one, i.e. when one is close to an innnite variance marginal distribution. This situation has been observed for various nancial log{return series and led to the introduction of the IGARCH model. I...

An exponential continuous time GARCH process

In this paper we introduce an exponential continuous time GARCH(p, q) process. It is defined in such a way that it is a continuous time extension of the discrete time EGARCH(p, q) process. We investigate stationarity, mixing and moment properties of the new model. An instantaneous leverage effect can be shown for the exponential continuous time GARCH(p, p) model.
