Abstract:
We consider a threshold autoregressive stochastic volatility model where the driving noises are sequences of iid regularly
random variables. We prove that both the right and the left tails of the marginal distribution of the log-volatility process
(αt)t are regularly varying with tail exponent −α with α > 0. We also determine the exact values of the coefficients in the tail behaviour of the process (αt)t.
