This paper aims to investigate a Bayesian sampling approach to parameter estimation in the GARCH model with an unknown conditional error density, which we approximate by a mixture of Gaussian densities centered at individual errors and scaled by a common standard deviation. This mixture density has the form of a kernel density estimator of the errors with its bandwidth being the standard deviat...

Conditional quantile estimation is an essential ingredient in modern risk management. Although GARCH processes have proven highly successful in modeling financial data it is generally recognized that it would be useful to consider a broader class of processes capable of representing more flexibly both asymmetry and tail behavior of conditional returns distributions. In this paper, we study esti...

As the real estate market develops rapidly and is increasingly securitized, it has become an important investment asset in the portfolio design. Thus the measurement of its market risk exposure has attracted attentions from academics and industries due to its peculiar behavior and unique characteristics such as heteroscedasticity and multi scale heterogeneity in its risk and noise evolution etc...

Volatility forecasting is a challenging task that has attracted the attention of market practitioners, regulators and academics in recent years. This paper proposes an evolving fuzzyGARCH approach to model and forecast the volatility of S&P 500 and Ibovespa indexes. The model comprises both the concept of evolving fuzzy systems and GARCH modeling approach in order to consider the principles of ...

This paper aims to investigate a Bayesian sampling approach to parameter estimation in the semiparametric GARCH model with an unknown conditional error density, which we approximate by a mixture of Gaussian densities centered at individual errors and scaled by a common standard deviation. This mixture density has the form of a kernel density estimator of the errors with its bandwidth being the ...

We reveal that in the estimation of univariate GARCH or multivariate generalized orthogonal GARCH (GO-GARCH) models, maximizing the likelihood is equivalent to making the standardized residuals as independent as possible. Based on that, we propose three factor GARCH models in the framework of GO-GARCH: independent-factor GARCH exploits factors that are statistically as independent as possible; ...

We propose a new method to compute option prices based on GARCH models. In an incomplete market framework, we allow for the volatility of asset return to differ from the volatility of the pricing process and obtain adequate pricing results. We investigate the pricing performance of this approach over short and long time horizons by calibrating theoretical option prices under the Asymmetric GARC...

The generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) approach is one of the common and simpler ways to use historical data to produce estimates of current and future levels of volatilities. This model recognizes that volatilities are not constant, for instance, a particular volatility may be high or low depending on the period of time. One of goals of a GARCH model is to track ...

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...
