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...

in this paper we investigate the long memory of tehran securities price index and fit arfima model using 970 daily data since 1382/1/6 until 1386/4/17. furthermore, we compare the forecasting performance of arfima and arima models. the results show that the series is a long memory one and therefore it can become stationary by fractional differencing. we obtaine the fractional differencing param...
