ARCH in the G7 Equity Markets: A Speculative Explanation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores whether speculative activity can, in practice, generate the ARCHtype behavior found in financial time series. Specifically, G7 equity market indices are examined for evidence of a dynamic whereby speculative interest is self-sustaining – that is, markets can become “hot”. A straightforward model, taken from Faruqee and Redding [9], generates some testable implications of the idea. Tests of the model on the data show that not only does the model offer an explanation for volatility clustering, but also can be considered a statistical improvement on standard GARCH representations.

This paper empirically examines multifactor asset pricing models for the returns and expected returns on eighteen national equity markets. The factors are chosen to measure global economic risks.
