A Multivariate Skew-garch Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Empirical research on European stock markets has shown that they behave differently according to the performance of the leading financial market identified as the US market. A positive sign is viewed as good news in the international financial markets, a negative sign means, conversely, bad news. As a result, we assume that European stock market returns are affected by endogenous and exogenous shocks. The former raise in the market itself, the latter come from the US market, because of its most influential role in the world. Under standard assumptions, the distribution of the European market index returns conditionally on the sign of the oneday lagged US return is skew-normal. The resulting model is denoted Skew-GARCH. We study the properties of this new model and illustrate its application to time-series data from three European financial markets.

A New Class of Multivariate Skew Densities, with Application to GARCH Models
We propose a practical and flexible method to introduce skewness in multivariate symmetric distributions. Applying this procedure to the multivariate Student density leads to a “multivariate skew-Student” density, in which each marginal has a specific asymmetry coefficient. Combined with a multivariate GARCH model, this new family of distributions is found to be more useful than its
متن کاملRealized Volatility and Modeling Stock Returns as a Mixture of Normal Random Variables: the GARCH-Skew-t Model
This paper provides a new empirical guidance for modeling a skewed and fat-tailed error distribution underlying the traditional GARCH models for equity returns based on empirical findings on Realized Volatility (RV), constructed from the summation of higher-frequency squared (demeaned) returns. Based on an 80-year sample of U.S. daily stock market returns, I find that the distribution of monthl...
متن کاملModelling of Correlated Ordinal Responses, by Using Multivariate Skew Probit with Different Types of Variance Covariance Structures
In this paper, a multivariate fundamental skew probit (MFSP) model is used to model correlated ordinal responses which are constructed from the multivariate fundamental skew normal (MFSN) distribution originate to the greater flexibility of MFSN. To achieve an appropriate VC structure for reaching reliable statistical inferences, many types of variance covariance (VC) structures are considered ...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of skew-t copulas with its applications to stock returns
The multivariate Student-t copula family is used in statistical finance and other areas when there is tail dependence in the data. It often is a good-fitting copula but can be improved on when there is tail asymmetry. Multivariate skew-t copula families can be considered when there is tail dependence and tail asymmetry, and we show how a fast numerical implementation for maximum likelihood esti...
متن کاملOn the Canonical-Based Goodness-of-fit Tests for Multivariate Skew-Normality
It is well-known that the skew-normal distribution can provide an alternative model to the normal distribution for analyzing asymmetric data. The aim of this paper is to propose two goodness-of-fit tests for assessing whether a sample comes from a multivariate skew-normal (MSN) distribution. We address the problem of multivariate skew-normality goodness-of-fit based on the empirical Laplace tra...
