  1. VOLATILITY MODELS

  2. GARCH • GENERALIZED- more general than ARCH model • AUTOREGRESSIVE-depends on its own past • CONDITIONAL-variance depends upon past information • HETEROSKEDASTICITY- fancy word for non-constant variance

  3. HISTORY • I DEVELOPED THE ARCH MODEL WHEN I WAS VISITING LSE IN 1979 • IT WAS PUBLISHED IN 1982 WITH MACRO APPLICATION - THE VARIANCE OF UK INFLATION • TIM BOLLERSLEV DEVELOPED THE GARCH GENERALIZATION AS MY PHD STUDENT - PUBLISHED IN 1986

  4. The GARCH Model • The variance of rt is a weighted average of three components • a constant or unconditional variance • yesterday’s forecast • yesterday’s news

  5. PARAMETER ESTIMATION • Historical data reveals when volatilities were large and the process of volatility • Pick parameters to match the historical volatility episodes • Maximum Likelihood is a systematic approach: • Max

  6. DIAGNOSTIC CHECKING • Time varying volatility is revealed by volatility clusters • These are measured by the Ljung Box statistic on squared returns • The standardized returns no longer should show significant volatilty clustering • Best models will minimize AIC and Schwarz criteria

  7. THEOREMS • GARCH MODELS WITH GAUSSIAN SHOCKS HAVE EXCESS KURTOSIS • FORECASTS OF GARCH(1,1) ARE MONOTONICALLY INCREASING OR DECREASING IN HORIZON

  8. FORECASTING WITH GARCH • GARCH(1,1) can be written as ARMA(1,1) • The autoregressive coefficient is • The moving average coefficient is

  9. GARCH(1,1) Forecasts

  10. Monotonic Term Structure of Volatility

  11. FORECASTING AVERAGE VOLATILITY • Annualized Vol=square root of 252 times the average daily standard deviation • Assume that returns are uncorrelated.

  12. TWO YEARS TERM STRUCTURE OF PORT

  13. Variance Targeting • Rewriting the GARCH model • where is easily seen to be the unconditional or long run variance • this parameter can be constrained to be equal to some number such as the sample variance. MLE only estimates the dynamics

  14. The Component Model • Engle and Lee(1999) • q is long run component and (h-q) is transitory • volatility mean reverts to a slowly moving long run component

  15. GARCH(p,q)

  16. The Leverage Effect -Asymmetric Models • Engle and Ng(1993) following Nelson(1989) • News Impact Curve relates today’s returns to tomorrows volatility • Define d as a dummy variable which is 1 for down days

  17. NEWS IMPACT CURVE

  18. Other Asymmetric Models

  19. PARTIALLY NON-PARAMETRICENGLE AND NG(1993)

  20. EXOGENOUS VARIABLES IN A GARCH MODEL • Include predetermined variables into the variance equation • Easy to estimate and forecast one step • Multi-step forecasting is difficult • Timing may not be right

  21. EXAMPLES • Non-linear effects • Deterministic Effects • News from other markets • Heat waves vs. Meteor Showers • Other assets • Implied Volatilities • Index volatility • MacroVariables or Events

  22. WHAT IS THE BEST MODEL? • The most reliable and robust is GARCH(1,1) • For short term forecasts, this is good enough. • For long term forecasts, a component model with leverage is often needed. • A model with economic causal variables is the ideal
