Core Discussion Paper 2007/55 Theory and Inference for a Markov Switching Garch Model

چکیده
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 space to include the state variables, Bayesian estimation using a Gibbs sampling algorithm is feasible. We illustrate the model on SP500 daily returns.

متن کاملHas Tehran Stock Market Calmed Down after Global Financial Crisis?Markov Switching GARCH Approach
We have introduced an early warning system for volatility regimes regarding Tehran Stock Exchange using Markov Switching GARCH approach. We have examined whether Tehran Stock Market has calmed down or more specifically, whether the surge in volatility during 2007-2010 global financial crises still affects stock return volatility in Iran. Doing so, we have used a regime switching GARCH model. ...
متن کاملModeling 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...
متن کاملDeriving the autocovariances of powers of Markov-switching GARCH models, with applications to statistical inference
A procedure is proposed for computing the autocovariances and the ARMA representations of the squares, and higher-order powers, of Markov-switching GARCH models. It is shown that many interesting subclasses of the general model can be discriminated in view of their autocovariance structures. Explicit derivation of the autocovariances allows for parameter estimation in the general model, via a G...
متن کاملA 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...
