A simple test for causality in volatility

Chang, Chia-Lin; McAleer, Michael - In: Econometrics 5 (2017) 1, pp. 1-5

An early development in testing for causality (technically, Granger non-causality) in the conditional variance (or volatility) associated with financial returns was the portmanteau statistic for non-causality in the variance of Cheng and Ng (1996). A subsequent development was the Lagrange...

A simple test for causality in volatility

Chang, Chia-Lin; McAleer, Michael - 2016

An early development in testing for causality (technically, Granger non-causality) in the conditional variance (or volatility) associated with financial returns, was the portmanteau statistic for non-causality in variance of Cheng and Ng (1996). A subsequent development was the Lagrange...

Modeling and estimation of synchronization in multistate Markov-switching models

Çakmaklı, Cem; Paap, Richard; Dijk, Dick van - 2010

This paper develops a Markov-Switching vector autoregressive model that allows for imperfect synchronization of cyclical regimes in multiple variables, due to phase shifts of a single common cycle. The model has three key features: (i) the amount of phase shift can be different across regimes...

The fiction of Full BEKK

Chang, Chia-Lin; McAleer, Michael - 2017

The purpose of the paper is to show that univariate GARCH is not a special case of multivariate GARCH, specifically the Full BEKK model, except under parametric restrictions on the off-diagonal elements of the random coefficient autoregressive coefficient matrix, provides the regularity...

Asymmetry and leverage in conditional volatility models

McAleer, Michael - In: Econometrics 2 (2014) 3, pp. 145-150

The three most popular univariate conditional volatility models are the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model of Engle (1982) and Bollerslev (1986), the GJR (or threshold GARCH) model of Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkle (1992), and the exponential GARCH (or...

A one line derivation of EGARCH

McAleer, Michael; Hafner, Christian M. - In: Econometrics 2 (2014) 2, pp. 92-97

parameters are not available under general conditions, but rather only for special cases under highly restrictive and … unverifiable conditions. It is often argued heuristically that the reason for the lack of general statistical properties arises … (2) the reason for the lack of statistical properties of the estimators of EGARCH under general conditions is that the …

A meta-analysis of beta-convergence : the legendary two-percent

Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2005

The topic of convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. Empirical studies of convergence differ widely in their theoretical backgrounds, empirical specifications and in their treatment of cross-sectional heterogeneity. Despite these differences, a rate of...

Growth and inequality : a meta-analysis

Dominicis, Laura de; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, … - 2006

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the impact of inequality on economic growth. Both theoretical and empirical approaches have produced ambiguous results on sign and size of this relationship. Although there is a considerable part of the literature that considers inequality...
