Asset returns and volatility clustering in financial time series
نویسنده
چکیده
An analysis of the stylized facts in financial time series is carried out. We find that, instead of the heavy tails in asset return distributions, the slow decay behaviour in autocorrelation functions of absolute returns is actually directly related to the degree of clustering of large fluctuations within the financial time series. We also introduce an index to quantitatively measure the clustering behaviour of fluctuations in these time series and show that big losses in financial markets usually lump more severely than big gains. We further give examples to demonstrate that comparing to conventional methods, our index enables one to extract more information from the financial time series.

Dynamic correlation network analysis of financial asset returns with network clustering
In this study, we propose a novel approach to analyze a dynamic correlation network of highly volatile financial asset returns by using a network clustering algorithm to deal with high dimensionality issues. We analyze the dynamic correlation network of selected Japanese stock returns as an empirical study of the correlation dynamics at the market level by applying the proposed method. Two type...
متن کاملVolatility Clustering in Financial Markets: Empirical Facts and Agent–Based Models
Time series of financial asset returns often exhibit the volatility clustering property: large changes in prices tend to cluster together, resulting in persistence of the amplitudes of price changes. After recalling various methods for quantifying and modeling this phenomenon, we discuss several economic mechanisms which have been proposed to explain the origin of this volatility clustering in ...
متن کاملStatistical Inference for Time - Inhomogeneous Volatility Models
This paper offers a new approach for estimating and forecasting the volatility of financial time series. No assumption is made about the parametric form of the processes. On the contrary, we only suppose that the volatility can be approximated by a constant over some interval. In such a framework, the main problem consists of filtering this interval of time homogeneity; then the estimate of the...
متن کاملModeling Stock Market Volatility Using Univariate GARCH Models: Evidence from Bangladesh
This paper investigates the nature of volatility characteristics of stock returns in the Bangladesh stock markets employing daily all share price index return data of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) from 02 January 1993 to 27 January 2013 and 01 January 2004 to 20 August 2015 respectively. Furthermore, the study explores the adequate volatility model for the stoc...
متن کاملCo-Volatility and Correlation Clustering : A Multivariate Correlated ARCH Framework
We present a new, full multivariate framework for modelling the evolution of conditional correlation between financial asset returns. Our approach assumes that a vector of asset returns is shocked by a vector innovation process the covariance matrix of which is timedependent. We then employ an appropriate Cholesky decomposition of the asset covariance matrix which, when transformed using a Sphe...
