  5. DEFINITIONS • rt is a mean zero random variable measuring the return on a financial asset • CONDITIONAL VARIANCE • UNCONDITIONAL VARIANCE

  6. GARCH(1,1) • The unconditional variance is then

  7. GARCH(1,1) • If omega is slowly varying, then • This is a complicated expression to interpret

  8. SPLINE GARCH • Instead, use a multiplicative form • Tau is a function of time and exogenous variables

  9. UNCONDITIONAL VOLATILTIY • Taking unconditional expectations • Thus we can interpret tau as the unconditional variance.

  10. SPLINE • ASSUME UNCONDITIONAL VARIANCE IS AN EXPONENTIAL QUADRATIC SPLINE OF TIME • For K knots equally spaced

  11. ESTIMATION • FOR A GIVEN K, USE GAUSSIAN MLE • CHOOSE K TO MINIMIZE BIC FOR K LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 15

  12. EXAMPLES FOR US SP500 • DAILY DATA FROM 1963 THROUGH 2004 • ESTIMATE WITH 1 TO 15 KNOTS • OPTIMAL NUMBER IS 7

  14. ESTIMATION • Volatility is regressed against explanatory variables with observations for countries and years. • Within a country residuals are auto-correlated due to spline smoothing. Hence use SUR. • Volatility responds to global news so there is a time dummy for each year. • Unbalanced panel

  15. ONE VARIABLE REGRESSIONS

  16. MULTIPLE REGRESSIONS

  17. IMPLICATIONS • Unconditional volatility varies over time and can be modeled • Volatility mean reverts to the level of unconditional volatility • Long run volatility forecasts depend upon macroeconomic and financial fundamentals

  18. HIGH FREQUENCY VOLATILITY

  19. WHERE CAN WE GET IMPROVED ACCURACY? • USING ONLY CLOSING PRICES IGNORES THE PROCESS WITHIN THE DAY. • BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLICATIONS. HOW CAN WE USE THIS?

  20. ONE MONTH OF DAILY RETURNS

  21. INTRA-DAILY RETURNS

  22. ARE THESE DAYS THE SAME?

  23. CAN WE USE THIS INFORMATION TO MEASURE VOLATILITY BETTER? • DAILY HIGH AND LOW • DAILY REALIZED VOLATILITY

  24. PARKINSON(1980) • HIGH LOW ESTIMATOR • IF RETURNS ARE CONTINUOUS AND NORMAL WITH CONSTANT VARIANCE,

  25. TARCH MODEL WITH RANGE • C 1.07E-06 2.03E-07 5.268049 0.0000 • RESID(-1)^2 -0.100917 0.011398 -8.853549 0.0000 • RESID(-1)^2*(RESID(-1)<0) 0.096744 0.010951 8.834209 0.0000 • GARCH(-1) 0.879976 0.010518 83.65995 0.0000 • RANGE(-1)^2 0.075963 0.008281 9.172690 0.0000 • Adjusted R-squared -0.001360     S.D. dependent var 0.010323 • S.E. of regression 0.010330     Akaike info criterion -6.616277 • Sum squared resid 0.404010     Schwarz criterion -6.606403 • Log likelihood 12550.46     Durbin-Watson stat 2.001541

  26. A MULTIPLE INDICATOR MODEL FOR VOLATILITY USING INTRA-DAILY DATARobert F. Engle Giampiero M. Gallo Forthcoming, Journal of Econometrics

  27. Absolute returns • Insert asymmetric effects (sign of returns) • Insert other lagged indicators

  28. Repeat for daily range, hlt: And for realized daily volatility, dvt :

  29. Smallest BIC-based selection

  30. Forecasting • one step-ahead • multi-step-ahead

  31. Term Structure of Volatility 1

  32. IMPLICATIONS • Intradaily data can be used to improve volatility forecasts • Both long and short run forecasts can be implemented if all the volatility indicators are modeled • Daily high/low range is a particularly valuable input • These methods could be combined with the spline garch approach.
