Stochastic interest rate modelling with continuous-time GARCH(1,1) model

چکیده
There is a massive amount of study deals with the stochastic modelling of the interest rates. The first approach to specify the interest rate movements as continuoustime Ito process was introduced by Merton in 1973. But his approach had many shortcomings including possibility of negative interest rates. In his seminal work in 1977, Vasicek developed Merton’s model by introducing mean-reverting characteristics of the data. Vasicek model is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type of process but this model do not eliminate the possibility of generating negative interest rates either. Moreover, it is not an adequate model for the interest rates because it does not corporate the conditional volatility characteristics of the data. (Anderson and Lund, 1997). In order to deal with these drawbacks Cox, Ingersoll, and Ross (1985) introduced their square-root model in the general equilibrium context. Mean-reverting and ’level effect’ characteristics of the CIR model helped in eliminating the possibility of negative interest rates and represent the conditional heteroskedasticty characteristics of the data.

We collect some continuous time GARCH models and report on how they approximate discrete time GARCH processes. Similarly, certain continuous time volatility models are viewed as approximations to discrete time volatility models. 1 Stochastic volatility models and discrete GARCH Both stochastic volatility models and GARCH processes are popular models for the description of financial time series....

متن کاملA Continuous Time GARCH Process Driven by a Lévy Process: Stationarity and Second Order Behaviour
We use a discrete time analysis, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the almost sure convergence of ARCH(1) and GARCH(1,1) discrete time models, to suggest an extension of the (G)ARCH concept to continuous time processes. Our “COGARCH” (continuous time GARCH) model, based on a single background driving Lévy process, is different from, though related to, other continuous time stochast...
