Semi- and Nonparametric ARCH Processes

چکیده
ARCH/GARCH modelling has been successfully applied in empirical finance for many years. This paper surveys the semiparametric and nonparametric methods in univariate andmultivariate ARCH/GARCHmodels. First, we introduce some specific semiparametric models and investigate the semiparametric and nonparametrics estimation techniques applied to: the error density, the functional form of the volatility function, the relationship between mean and variance, long memory processes, locally stationary processes, continuous time processes and multivariate models. The second part of the paper is about the general properties of such processes, including stationary conditions, ergodic conditions and mixing conditions. The last part is on the estimation methods in ARCH/GARCH processes.

Estimating High Frequency Foreign Exchange Rate Volatility with Nonparametric ARCH Models
High frequency foreign exchange rate (HFFX) series are analyzed on an operational time scale using models of the ARCH class. Comparison of the estimated conditional variances focuses on the asymmetry and persistence issue. Estimation results for para-metric models connrm standard results for HFFX series, namely high persistence and no signiicance of the asymmetry coeecient in an EGARCH model. T...
متن کاملEstimating Semiparametric Arch (∞) Models by Kernel Smoothing Methods
We investigate a class of semiparametric ARCH(∞) models that includes as a special case the partially nonparametric (PNP) model introduced by Engle and Ng (1993) and which allows for both flexible dynamics and flexible function form with regard to the 'news impact' function. We propose an estimation method that is based on kernel smoothing and profiled likelihood. We establish the distribution ...
متن کاملModeling the Impact of News on volatility The Case of Iran
In this paper various ARCH models and relevant news impact curves including a partially nonparametric (PNP) one are compared and estimated with daily Iran stock return data. Diagnostic tests imply the asymmetry of the volatility response to news. The EGARCH model, which passes all the tests and appears relatively matching with the asymmetry in the data, seems to be the most adequate characteriz...

The autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models take the dependency of the conditional second moments. The idea behind ARCH/GARCH model is quite intuitive. For ARCH models, past squared innovations describes the present squared volatility. For GARCH models, both squared innovations and the past squared volatil...
متن کاملThe Role of R&D in Trade Expansion: A Semi-parametric Gravity Specification for East and West Asia
In more recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that R&D (research and development) is a key driver of economic growth, a source of innovation and change, and as such stimulates improvements in productivity and economic competitiveness. It is closely associated with knowledge and flexibility, two factors that have gained new significance as a source of competitiveness in an increasi...
