Wepropose a novel, simple, efficient and distribution-free re-sampling technique for developing prediction intervals for returns and volatilities following ARCH/GARCH models. In particular, our key idea is to employ a Box-Jenkins linear representation of an ARCH/GARCH equation and then to adapt a sieve bootstrap procedure to the non-linear GARCH framework. Our simulation studies indicate that t...

We present a general framework for a GARCH (1,1) type of process with innovations using a probability law of the mean-variance mixing type. We call the process the mean variance mixing GARCH (1,1) or MVM GARCH (1,1). One implication of this particular specification is a GARCH process with skewed innovations and constant mean dynamics. This is achieved without using a location parameter to compe...

But when the forecast horizon is greater than the frequency...

It is well-known that the estimated GARCH dynamics exhibit common patterns. Starting from this fact we extend the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model by allowing for a clustering structure of the univariate GARCH parameters. The model can be estimated in two steps, the first devoted to the clustering structure, and the second focusing on correlation parameters. Differently from the trad...

Background: In light of the latest global financial crisis and the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, accurate measuring of market losses has become a very current issue. One of the most popular risk measures is Value-at-Risk (VaR). Objectives: Our paper has two main purposes. The first is to test the relative performance of selected GARCH-type models in terms of their ability of delivering volatil...

One of the most used methods to forecast price volatility is the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model. Nonetheless, the errors in prediction using this approach are often quite high. Hence, continued research is conducted to improve forecasting models employing a variety of techniques. In this paper, we extend the field of expert systems, forecasting, and mode...

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...
