We consider a family of GARCH(1,1) processes introduced in He and Teräsvirta (1999a). This family contains various … popular GARCH models as special cases. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a strictly stationary … solution is given. -- GARCH ; strict stationarity ; Lyapunov exponent …

In this paper, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art in the econometric literature on the modeling of so-called financial point processes. The latter are associated with the random arrival of specific financial trading events, such as transactions, quote updates, limit orders or price...

Measuring and modeling financial volatility is the key to derivative pricing, asset allocation and risk management.The recent availability of high-frequency data allows for refined methods in this field.In particular, more precise measures for the daily or lower frequency volatility can be...

We study the interest rate spread of the Argentine financial system during the last eighteen years. We analyze Granger causality of selected variables, and estimate econometric models that relate spread to macroeconomic and microeconomic factors. Resuls indicate that output growth and...

Tests of parameter instabilities are likely to have low power when change-points occur towards the end of the sample. This paper considers various modifications of existing tests and introduces new statistics designed to have high power in such circumstances. The properties of both Wald-type...

This paper provides a selected review of the recent developments and applications of mixture-of-normal (MN) distribution models in financial econometrics. One noted feature of the MN model is its flexibility in accommodating various shapes of continuous distributions, and its ability in...

The New Keynesian Phillips Curve is at the center of two raging empirical debates. First, how can purely forward looking pricing account for the observed persistence in aggregate inflation. Second, price-setting responds to movements in marginal costs, which should therefore be the driving force...

In this paper, we develop a test for the existence of a middle 'band of inaction' in a three-regime threshold vector error correction model (TVECM). A Wald statistic is proposed for this purpose, its limiting distribution is derived (which is non-standard) and critical values calculated through...

The classical approach to testing for structural change employs retrospective tests using a historical data set of a given length. Here we consider a wide array of fluctuation-type tests in a monitoring situation – given a history period for which a regression relationship is known to be...
