次贷危机下中国股市与国外股市相依性分析——基于Markov机制转换模型

文章通过选取2004年1月1日到2009年6月30日中国、香港、日本、英国和澳大利亚五个股票市场日收盘价的道琼斯数据,采用三状态Markov机制转换模型研究这些股市间相依性结构的变化。通过对目标股市结构变化的研究,可以描述并预测股市的波动性,从而指导风险管理。实证分析表明,在有机制转换条件下,澳大利亚与英国、日本股市间的相依性比无机制转换条件下均有所下降,而中国与香港股市间相依性却大幅上升。同时,本文采用总体拟合效果法来选取合适的copula函数并运用基于copula理论的相关系数法进行对比研究,发现次贷危机后各股市间的尾部相依性出现不同的变化,市场收益率呈现下降趋势,波动性均有所增加。其中,澳大利亚与英国股市间的尾部相依性最强,而中国股市与其他股市之间的相依性较弱,说明受到影响的程度较小。

Crisis and risk dependencies

The knowledge of the multivariate stochastic dependence between the returns of asset classes is of importance for many finance applications, such as asset allocation or risk management. By means of goodness-of-fit tests, we analyze for a multitude of portfolios consisting of different asset classes whether the stochastic dependence between the portfolios’ constituents can be adequately described by multivariate versions of some standard parametric copula functions. Furthermore, we test whether the stochastic dependence between the returns of different asset classes has changed during the recent financial crisis. The main findings are: First, whether a specific copula assumption can be rejected or not, crucially depends on the asset class and the time period considered. Second, different goodness-of-fit tests for copulas can yield very different results and these differences can vary for different asset classes and for different tested copulas. Third, even when using various goodness-of-fit tests for copulas, it is not always possible to differentiate between various copula assumptions. Fourth, during the financial crisis, copula assumptions are more frequently rejected. However, the results also raise some concerns over the suitability of goodness-of-fit tests for copulas as a diagnostic tool for identifying stressed risk dependencies.     

Measuring the subprime crisis contagion: Evidence of change point analysis of copula functions

In this paper, we first determine the existence of structural changes in the dependence between time series of equity index returns of two markets using the change point testing method. The method is based on Archimedean copula functions, which are able to comprehensively describe dependence characteristics of random variables. The degree of financial contagion between markets is subsequently estimated using the tail dependence coefficient of copula functions before and after the change point. We empirically test our method by investigating financial contagion during the subprime crisis between the US S&P 500 index and five Asian markets, namely China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Our results show that a statistically significant change point exists in the dependence between the US market and all Asian stock markets except Taiwan. The upper tail dependence is larger after the time of change, implying the existence of contagion during the banking crisis between the US and the Asian economies. The degree of financial contagion is also estimated and found to be consistent with market events and media reports during that period.

COPAR—multivariate time series modeling using the copula autoregressive model

The analysis of multivariate time series is a common problem in areas like finance and economics. The classical tools for this purpose are vector autoregressive models. These however are limited to the modeling of linear and symmetric dependence. We propose a novel copula‐based model that allows for the non‐linear and non‐symmetric modeling of serial as well as between‐series dependencies. The model exploits the flexibility of vine copulas, which are built up by bivariate copulas only. We describe statistical inference techniques for the new model and discuss how it can be used for testing Granger causality. Finally, we use the model to investigate inflation effects on industrial production, stock returns and interest rates. In addition, the out‐of‐sample predictive ability is compared with relevant benchmark models. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Weekday dependence of German stock market returns

The so‐called ‘Monday effect’ has been found for various stock markets of the world. The empirical finding that Monday returns are significantly smaller than returns measured for the remaining days of the week calls the efficiency hypothesis for pricing processes operating on stock markets into question. Investigating an index series measured at the Frankfurt stock exchange the paper compares estimation results of parametric and non‐parametric autoregressive models with respect to possible weekday dependence of return data. Allowing for heteroskedastic error distributions the wild bootstrap is used to infer against time‐varying means and correlation of return data in parametric models and to obtain confidence bands for non‐parametric estimates. It is shown that time dependence is an important feature describing the dynamics of German stock market returns in the period 1960–1979. Within two subsamples obtained from the period 1980–1997 the evidence in favour of such effects is mitigated substantially. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Modelling dependence structure with Archimedean copulas and applications to the iTraxx CDS index

In this paper we model the dependence structure between credit default swap (CDS) and jump risk using Archimedean copulas. The paper models and estimates the different relationships that can exist in different ranges of behaviour. It studies the bivariate distributions of CDS index spreads and the kurtosis of equity return distribution. To take into account nonlinear relationships and different structures of dependency, we employ three Archimedean copula functions: Gumbel, Clayton, and Frank. We adopt nonparametric estimation of copula parameters and we find an extreme co-movement of CDS and stock market conditions. In addition, tail dependence indicates the extreme co-movements and the potential for a simultaneous large loss in stock markets and a significant default risk. Ignoring the tail dependence would lead to underestimation of the default risk premium.

Modeling defaults with nested Archimedean copulas

In 2001, Schönbucher and Schubert extended Li’s well-known Gaussian copula model for modeling dependent defaults to allow for tail dependence. Instead of the Gaussian copula, Schönbucher and Schubert suggested to use Archimedean copulas. These copulas are able to capture tail dependence and therefore allow a standard intensity-based default model to have a positive probability of joint defaults within a short time period. As can be observed in the current financial crisis, this is an indispensable feature of any realistic default model. Another feature, motivated by empirical observations but rarely taken into account in default models, is that modeled portfolio components affected by defaults show significantly different levels of dependence depending on whether they belong to the same industry sector or not. The present work presents an extension of the model suggested by Schönbucher and Schubert to account for this fact. For this, nested Archimedean copulas are applied. As an application, the pricing of collateralized debt obligations is treated. Since the resulting loss distribution is not analytical tractable, fast sampling algorithms for nested Archimedean copulas are developed. Such algorithms boil down to sampling certain distributions given by their Laplace-Stieltjes transforms. For a large range of nested Archimedean copulas, efficient sampling techniques can be derived. Moreover, a general transformation of an Archimedean generator allows to construct and sample the corresponding nested Archimedean copulas.     

Robust pair‐copula based forecasts of realized volatility

A useful application for copula functions is modeling the dynamics in the conditional moments of a time series. Using copulas, one can go beyond the traditional linear ARMA (p,q) modeling, which is solely based on the behavior of the autocorrelation function, and capture the entire dependence structure linking consecutive observations. This type of serial dependence is best represented by a canonical vine decomposition, and we illustrate this idea in the context of emerging stock markets, modeling linear and nonlinear temporal dependences of Brazilian series of realized volatilities. However, the analysis of intraday data collected from e‐markets poses some specific challenges. The large amount of real‐time information calls for heavy data manipulation, which may result in gross errors. Atypical points in high‐frequency intraday transaction prices may contaminate the series of daily realized volatilities, thus affecting classical statistical inference and leading to poor predictions. Therefore, in this paper, we propose to robustly estimate pair‐copula models using the weighted minimum distance and the weighted maximum likelihood estimates (WMLE). The excellent performance of these robust estimates for pair‐copula models are assessed through a comprehensive set of simulations, from which the WMLE emerged as the best option for members of the elliptical copula family. We evaluate and compare alternative volatility forecasts and show that the robustly estimated canonical vine‐based forecasts outperform the competitors. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Is the predictability of emerging and developed stock markets really exploitable?

A number of recent papers have analyzed the degree of predictability of stock markets. In this paper, we firstly study whether this predictability is really exploitable and secondly, if the economic significance of predictability is higher or lower in the emerging stock markets than in the developed ones. We use a variety of linear and nonlinear – Artificial Neural Networks – models and perform a computationally demanding forecasting experiment to assess the predictability of returns. Since we are interested in comparing the predictability in economic terms we also propose a modification in the nets’ loss function for market trading purposes. In addition, we consider both explicit and implicit trading costs for emerging and developed stock markets. Our conclusions suggest that, in contrast to some previous studies, if we consider total trading costs both the emerging as well as the developed stock returns are clearly nonpredictable. Finally, we find that Artificial Neural Networks do not provide superior performance than the linear models.     

Construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas

In this paper we introduce two methods for the construction of asymmetric multivariate copulas. The first is connected with products of copulas. The second approach generalises the Archimedean copulas. The resulting copulas are asymmetric and may have more than two parameters in contrast to most of the parametric families of copulas described in the literature. We study the properties of the proposed families of copulas such as the dependence of two components (Kendall’s tau, tail dependence), marginal distributions and the generation of random variates.
