Regime Switching Garch Models

چکیده
We develop univariate regime-switching GARCH (RS-GARCH) models wherein the conditional variance switches in time from one GARCH process to another. The switching is governed by a time-varying probability, specified as a function of past information. We provide sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity and existence of moments. 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 apply this model using the NASDAQ daily return series.

Forecasting Crude Oil prices Volatility and Value at Risk: Single and Switching Regime GARCH Models
Forecasting crude oil price volatility is an important issues in risk management. The historical course of oil price volatility indicates the existence of a cluster pattern. Therefore, GARCH models are used to model and more accurately predict oil price fluctuations. The purpose of this study is to identify the best GARCH model with the best performance in different time horizons. To achieve th...
متن کاملImproving GARCH Volatility Forecasts with Regime-Switching GARCH
Many researchers use GARCH models to generate volatility forecasts. Using data on three major U.S. dollar exchange rates we show that such forecasts are too high in volatile periods. We argue that this is due to the high persistence of shocks in GARCH forecasts. To obtain more flexibility regarding volatility persistence, this paper generalizes the GARCH model by distinguishing two regimes with...
متن کاملRegime Switching in Dynamics of Risk Premium: Evidence from SHIBOR
In the light of regime switching and volatility clustering in the dynamics of SHIBOR, regime-switching CIR model (RSCIR) and regime-switching GARCH CIR model (RSCIR-GARCH) are established by introducing regime-switching and GARCH specifications into CIR model successively. Then, a contrast study among CIR, RSCIR and RSCIR-GARCH models is performed based on SHIBOR sample data, which indicates th...
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 کاملStock market dynamics in a regime-switching asymmetric power GARCH model
This paper analyzes the dynamics of Asian stock index returns through a Regime-Switching Asymmetric Power GARCH model (RS-APGARCH). The model confirms some stylized facts already discussed in former studies but also highlights interesting new characteristics of stock market returns and volatilites. Mainly, it improves the traditional regime-switching GARCH models by including an asymmetric resp...
