We show that, for three common SARV models, fitting a minimum mean square linear filter is equivalent to fitting a GARCH model. This suggests that GARCH models may be useful for filtering, forecasting, and parameter estimation in stochastic volatility settings. To investigate, we use simulations to evaluate how the three SARV models and their associated GARCH filters perform under controlled co...

Previous studies of the information content of the implied volatilities from the prices of call options have used a cross-sectional regression approach. This paper compares the information content of the implied volatilities from call options on the S&P 100 index to GARCH (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity) and Exponential GARCH models of conditional volatility. By addin...

We propose a new method for pricing options based on GARCH models with filtered historical innovations. In an incomplete market framework we allow for different distributions of the historical and the pricing return dynamics enhancing the model flexibility to fit market option prices. An extensive empirical analysis based on S&P 500 index options shows that our model outperforms other competing...

This study aims to forecast extreme fluctuations of Bitcoin returns. is the first decentralized and largest, in terms capitalization, cryptocurrency. A well-timed precise changes returns key market participants since they may trigger large-scale selling or buying strategies that crucially impact cryptocurrency markets. We term instances movement as ‘spikes’. In this paper, spikes are defined ou...

This paper introduces a unified model, which can accommodate both a continuoustime Itô process used to model high-frequency stock prices and a GARCH process employed to model low-frequency stock prices, by embedding a discrete-time GARCH volatility in its continuous-time instantaneous volatility. This model is called a unified GARCH-Itô model. We adopt realized volatility estimators based on hi...

In order to improve the safety of train operation, a short-term wind speed forecasting method is proposed based on a linear recursive autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) algorithm and a non-linear recursive generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (GARCH) algorithm (ARIMA-GARCH). Firstly, the non-stationarity embedded in the original wind speed data is pre-processed...

This paper proposes a new parametric volatility model that introduces serially dependent innovations in GARCH specifications. We first prove the asymptotic normality of the QML estimator in this setting, allowing for possible explosive and nonstationary behavior of the GARCH process. We show that this model can generate an alternative measure of risk premium relative to the GARCH-M. Finally, we...

This paper develops the method for pricing bivariate contingent claims under General Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroskedastic (GARCH) process. In order to provide a general framework being able to accommodate skewness, leptokurtosis, fat tails as well as the time varying volatility that are often found in financial data, generalized hyperbolic (GH) distribution is used for innovations. As t...
