چکیده

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 forecast with GARCH-type models and consider structural breaks and the long-memory characteristic. We analyze structural breaks and use the FIGARCH [Baillie et al., 1996] model comparing with GARCH [Bollerslev, 1986] model and EGARCH [Nelson, 1991] model to forecast the conditional variance process of three USA stock indices: Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA) index, Standard & Poor 500 (S&P 500) index and NASDAQ Composite (NASDAQ) index by using different in-sample size, different error distributions and forecasting different steps. We find the FIGARCH model is sensitive to the changes of conditions, and forecast better than the other two GARCH-type models.

The Stock Returns Volatility based on the GARCH (1,1) Model: The Superiority of the Truncated Standard Normal Distribution in Forecasting Volatility

I n this paper, we specify that the GARCH(1,1) model has strong forecasting volatility and its usage under the truncated standard normal distribution (TSND) is more suitable than when it is under the normal and student-t distributions. On the contrary, no comparison was tried between the forecasting performance of volatility of the daily return series using the multi-step ahead forec...

Forecasting Stock Market Volatility Using (Non-Linear) Garch Models

In this papeT we study the performance of the GARCH model and two of its non-linear modifications to forecast weekly stock market volatility. The models are the Quadratic GARCH (Engle and Ng. 1993) and the Glosten. Jagannathan and Runkle (1992) models which have been proposed to describe, for example, the often observed negative skewness in stock market indices. We find that the QGARCH model is...

Modeling Markov Switching ARMA-GARCH Neural Networks Models and an Application to Forecasting Stock Returns

The study has two aims. The first aim is to propose a family of nonlinear GARCH models that incorporate fractional integration and asymmetric power properties to MS-GARCH processes. The second purpose of the study is to augment the MS-GARCH type models with artificial neural networks to benefit from the universal approximation properties to achieve improved forecasting accuracy. Therefore, the ...

Recurrent Support and Relevance Vector Machines Based Model with Application to Forecasting Volatility of Financial Returns

In the recent years, the use of GARCH type (especially, ARMA-GARCH) models and computational-intelligence-based techniques—Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) have been successfully used for financial forecasting. This paper deals with the application of ARMA-GARCH, recurrent SVM (RSVM) and recurrent RVM (RRVM) in volatility forecasting. Based on RSVM and RRVM, two G...

Forecasting the Daily Dynamic Hedge Ratios in Emerging Stock Futures Markets: Evidence from the GARCH models By

This paper investigates the forecasting ability of five different versions of GARCH models. The five GARCH models applied are bivariate GARCH, GARCH-ECM, BEKK GARCH, GARCH-X and GARCH-GJR. Forecast errors based on four emerging stock futures portfolio return (based on forecasted hedge ratio) forecasts are employed to evaluate out-ofsample forecasting ability of the five GARCH models. Daily data...
