A Skewed Student-t Realised DCC copula model using Realised Volatility GARCH marginal functions is developed within a Bayesian framework for the purpose of forecasting portfolio Value at Risk and Conditional Value at Risk. The use of copulas is implemented so that the marginal distributions can be separated from the dependence structure to produce tail forecasts. This is compared to using tradi...

GARCH-type models have been highly developed since Engle [1982] presented ARCH process 30 years ago. Different kinds of GARCH-type models are applicable to different kinds of research purposes. As documented by many literatures that short-memory processes with level shifts will exhibit properties that make standard tools conclude long-memory is present. Therefore, in this paper, we want to fore...

This paper presents theoretical models and their empirical results for the return and variance dynamics of German stocks. A factor structure is used in order to allow for a parsimonious modeling of the rst two moments of returns. Dynamic factor models with GARCH dynamics (GARCH(1,1)-M, IGARCH(1,1)-M, Nonlinear Asymmetric GARCH(1,1)-M and Glosten-Jagannathan-Runkle GARCH(1,1)-M) and three di ere...

In financial modeling, it has been constantly pointed out that volatility clustering and conditional nonnormality induced leptokurtosis observed in high frequency data. Financial time series data are not adequately modeled by normal distribution, and empirical evidence on the non-normality assumption is well documented in the financial literature (details are illustrated by Engle (1982) and Bol...

We consider a rank-based technique for estimating GARCH model parameters, some of which are scale transformations of conventional GARCH parameters. The estimators are obtained by minimizing a rank-based residual dispersion function similar to the one given in Jaeckel (1972). They are useful for GARCH order selection and preliminary estimation. We give a limiting distribution for the rank estima...

In this paper, we demonstrate that most of Tokyo stock return data sets have volatility persistence and it is due to a parameter change in underlying GARCH models. For testing for a parameter change, we use the cusum test, devised by Lee et al. (2003), based on the residuals from GARCH models. A simulation study shows that a parameter change in GARCH models can mislead analysts to choose an IGA...

We present a new approach to generalised autoregressive conditional het-eroscedasitic (GARCH) modelling for asset returns. Instead of attempting to choose a speciic distribution for the errors, as in the usual GARCH model formulation, we use a nonparametric distribution to estimate these errors. This takes into account the common problems encountered in nancial time series, for example, asymmet...
