The BEKK model is a popular multivariate GARCH processes. The paper develops a new general asymmetric BEKK structure, which is based on recent empirical findings by semi-parametric news impact curves. For estimating the new model, a Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is used. Empirical results for triviarte asset returns from firms in the US indicate that the deviance information criterion favo...

this paper empirically investigates the relationship between cpi inflation uncertainty, and private investment in the iranian economy from 1988 to 2010 by using quarterly data. we employ a bivariate var(5)-garch(1,1)-in-mean with diagonal bekk model to discover in a unified framework how are the interactions between the variables. in the model, conditional variance of inflation and private inve...

The question which multivariate GARCH models in the vec form are representable in the BEKK form is addressed. Using results from linear algebra, it is established that all vec models not representable in the simplest BEKK form contain matrices as parameters which map the vectorised positive semi-definite matrices into a strict subset of themselves. Moreover, a general result from linear algebra...

This study examines intraday relationships among the spot index, index futures, and the implied volatility index based on the VAR(1)-asymmetric BEKK-MGARCH model. Analysis of a high-frequency dataset from theKorean financialmarket confirms that there is a strong intraday market linkage between the spot index, KOSPI200 futures, and VKOSPI and that asymmetric volatility behaviour is clearly prese...

The monetary policy in the frame of monetary transaction through stocks market affects the stocks’ price that these prices also affect the economy with impacting consuming and investing expenses. In another word, based on the importance of monetary part in commercial banks, the effect of these policies on bank stocks has a great importance that is studied in his project. For this purpose, the d...
