Alternative Asymmetric Stochastic Volatility Models*
The stochastic volatility model usually incorporates asymmetric effects by introducing the negative correlation between the innovations in returns and volatility. In this paper, we propose a new asymmetric stochastic volatility model, based on the leverage and size effects. The model is a generalization of the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model of Nelson (1991). We consider categories for asymmet...
متن کاملModelling Volatility: Symmetric or Asymmetric Garch Models?
In this paper, we estimate GARCH, EGARCH, and GJR-GARCH models assuming normal and heavy-tailed distribution (i.e., GED). Results suggest that when the heavy-tailed distribution is considered, the persistence has found to be reduced in all the cases. Findings also reveal that positive shocks are more common than the negative shocks in this market.
متن کاملGeometric ergodicity of asymmetric volatility models with stochastic parameters
In this paper, we consider a general family of asymmetric volatility models with stationary and ergodic coefficients. This family can nest several non-linear asymmetric GARCH models with stochastic parameters into its ambit. It also generalizes Markovswitching GARCH and GJR models. The geometric ergodicity of the proposed process is established. Sufficient conditions for stationarity and existe...
متن کاملModeling Stock Return Volatility Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Nonlinear State Space Models: Case of Tehran Stock Market
Volatility is a measure of uncertainty that plays a central role in financial theory, risk management, and pricing authority. Turbulence is the conditional variance of changes in asset prices that is not directly observable and is considered a hidden variable that is indirectly calculated using some approximations. To do this, two general approaches are presented in the literature of financial ...
متن کاملLikelihood-based inference for asymmetric stochastic volatility models
A likelihood approach for 0tting asymmetric stochastic volatility models is proposed. It is 0rst shown that, using a quadrature method, the likelihood of these models may be approximated, with the required level of accuracy, by a function that may be easily evaluated using matrix calculus along with its 0rst and second derivatives. The approximated likelihood may be maximized using a standard N...
