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...

Specification testing in Hawkes models

Gresnigt, Francine; Kole, Erik; Franses, Philip Hans - 2015

We propose various specification tests for Hawkes models based on the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) principle. Hawkes models can be used to model the occurrence of extreme events in financial markets. Our specific testing focus is on extending a univariate model to a multivariate model, that is, we...

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 …

Short patches of outliers, ARCH and volatility modeling

Franses, Philip Hans; Dijk, Dick van; Lucas, André - 1998

In this paper we test for (Generalized) AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity [(G)ARCH] in daily data on 22 exchange rates and 13 stock market indices using the standard Lagrange Multiplier [LM] test for GARCH and a LM test that is resistant to patches of additive outliers. The data span...
