A time series approach to analyzing stock market volatility and returns. By: ArteidMemaj & Talal Butt
Outline • Introduction • Methodology • Results • Limitations • References
Purpose of the study • Develop a Model which predicts future values of S&P 500’s and DJI’s Returns and Volatility in a response time series as a linear combination of its past values and past errors. • Importance of study: • This information concerns economists and investors since the model developed could allow them to predict future risk and hedge against it.
Hypothesis • Hypothesis 1: There is a time series model (ARMA(p,q)) that fits our data for Returns. • Hypothesis 2: There is a time series model(ARMA(p,q)) that fits our data for Volatility.
Method • Identification Stage • Estimation and Diagnostic Stage • Forecasting Stage
Method • Identification stage: • Autocorrelation check for white noise: -Ho: none of the autocorrelations up to a given lag are significantly differently from 0. • Stationarity Test : -Stationarity in the variance must be present. • Autocorrelation: -Corr (Zt,Zt+k) 4. Partial Autocorrelations: - Corr (Zt,Zt+k|Zt+1,Zt+2,….Zt+k-1)
Returns Autocorrelation Check for White Noise (S&P500) Autocorrelation Check for White Noise (DJI)
Volatility Autocorrelation Check for White Noise (S&P500) Autocorrelation Check for White Noise (DJI)
Partial Autocorrelation (Volatility) DJI S&P500
Forecasting Stage S&P500 DJI
Conclusions • We can conclude that a ARMA(1,4) process forecasts volatility for both S&P500 and DJI with high precision. • Returns could not be forecasted with an AR(p) MA(q) or an ARMA(p,q) process.
