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...

Extreme value theory is widely used financial applications such as risk analysis, forecasting and pricing models. One of the major difficulties in the applications to finance and economics is that the assumption of independence of time series observations is generally not satisfied, so that the dependent extremes may not necessarily be in the domain of attraction of the classical generalised ex...

This paper examines mean and volatility spillovers between three major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin Ethereum) the role played by cyber-attacks. Specifically, trivariate GARCH-BEKK models are estimated which include suitably defined dummies corresponding to different types, targets number per day of Significant dynamic linkages (interdependence) under investigation found in most cases whe...

The augmented GARCH model is a unification of numerous extensions of the popular and widely used ARCH process. It was introduced by Duan and besides ordinary (linear) GARCH processes, it contains exponential GARCH, power GARCH, threshold GARCH, asymmetric GARCH, etc. In this paper, we study the probabilistic structure of augmented GARCH(1,1) sequences and the asymptotic distribution of various ...

This paper used different copula-based GARCH models (Copula-GARCH model and Copula-GJR-GARCH model) to analyze the dependence structure among gold price, stock price index of gold mining companies and Shanghai Composite Index in China. The empirical results found that the suitable margins were skew-t distribution, and the GJR-GARCH marginal distribution had better explanatory ability than the G...

A bivariate copula mixed model has been recently proposed to synthesize diagnostic test accuracy studies and it has been shown that it is superior to the standard generalized linear mixed model in this context. Here, we call trivariate vine copulas to extend the bivariate meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy studies by accounting for disease prevalence. Our vine copula mixed model includes...

As extensions to the Black-Scholes model with constant volatility, option pricing models with time-varying volatility have been suggested within the framework of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH). However, application of the GARCH option pricing model has been hampered by the lack of simulation techniques able to incorporate early exercise features. In the presen...

Many researchers use GARCH models to generate volatility forecasts. We show, however, that such forecasts are too variable. To correct for this, we extend the GARCH model by distinguishing two regimes with different volatility levels. GARCH effects are allowed within each regime, so that our model generalizes existing regime-switching models that allow for ARCH terms only. The empirical applica...

This paper considers the pricing of options when there are jumps in the pricing kernel and correlated jumps in asset returns and volatilities. Our model nests Duan’s GARCH option models where conditional returns are constrained to being normal, as well as extends Merton’s jump-diffusion model by allowing return volatility to exhibit GARCH-like behavior. Empirical analysis on the S&P 500 index r...

Abstract We study the joint distribution of stochastic events described by ( X , Y N ), where has a 1-inflated (or deflated) geometric and are sum maximum exponential random variables. Models with similar structure have been used in several areas applications, including actuarial science, finance, weather climate, such naturally arise. provide basic properties this class multivariate distributi...
