Measuring rank correlation coefficients between financial time series: A GARCH-copula based sequence alignment algorithm

This paper presents a novel four-stage algorithm for the measurement of the rank correlation coefficients between pairwise financial time series. In first stage returns of financial time series are fitted as skewed-t distributions by the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model. In the second stage, the joint probability density function (PDF) of the fitted skewed-t distributions is computed using the symmetrized Joe–Clayton copula. The joint PDF is then utilized as the scoring scheme for pairwise sequence alignment in the third stage. After solving the optimal sequence alignment problem using the dynamic programming method, we obtain the aligned pairs of the series. Finally, we compute the rank correlation coefficients of the aligned pairs in the fourth stage. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithm is the first to use a sequence alignment technique to pair numerical financial time series directly, without initially transforming numerical values into symbols. Using practical financial data, the experiments illustrate the method and demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.

On spatial contagion and multivariate GARCH models

We propose a method for defining and measuring spatial contagion between two financial markets via conditional copulas. Some theoretical results on monotonicity and asymptotic properties of Gaussian copulas with respect to conditioning are presented. Next, we combine the spatial contagion approach with time series models. We investigate which model from a large family of multivariate GARCH is the best tool for modelling spatial contagion. In an empirical study, we show that among models designed for general fit, a two‐step model fitting procedure reduces the ability to describe the contagion effect. This is a feature of copula‐GARCH models. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

不同市态下正态性转换时变VaR

VaR技术作为全球广为流行的金融风险管理技术,其测度的是极端情况下的风险头寸,但在传统假设下可能会极大地低估其值,这就会使得在实践中使用VaR值作为风险管理标准时面临更大的新的风险.考虑我国股市处于不同市场态势下对风险头寸的影响,就牛、熊市中分别估测VaR值.首先利用各种Delta-Gamma-Johnson转换函数对经验数据进行正态性调整.考虑通过转换机制调整后的经验数据仍然存在的异方差性特征,然后运用GARCH模型计算时变VaR值,以此来改善VaR的计算风险,探讨我国股票市场VaR技术的适用性和准确性.     

Random Coefficient GARCH(1,1) Model With i.i.d. Coefficients

We introduce the GARCH(1,1) model with random i.i.d. coefficients. Conditions for the existence of a stationary solution of a random coefficient GARCH(1,1) equation are obtained. They generalize the well-known results of Nelson [14] and Terasvirta [18] in the case of constant (nonrandom) coefficients.__________Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 467–480, October–December, 2004.     

GARCH(1,1)模型的稳健估计比较及应用

首先阐述了GARCH(1,1)模型稳健估计的构造方法,然后在模型有无异常值扩散效应约束和异常值比例不同的情况下,比较了传统QMLE估计和多种稳健M估计的表现,结果表明:在数据无异常值下,QMLE估计较优;随着异常值比例增加,稳健Andrew估计表现更好;模型施加异常值扩散效应约束对估计有一定改善但不显著.最后选取波动程度不同的两个阶段沪深300指数的收益率,用模型拟合进行了实例比较,在波动程度较大时,Andrew估计效果较优,在波动相对平稳时,LAD估计较优.     

Sudden changes in variance and time varying hedge ratios

This paper analyzes the influence of sudden changes in the unconditional volatility on the estimation and forecast of volatility and its impact on futures hedging strategies. We employ several multivariate GARCH models to estimate the optimal hedge ratios for the Spanish stock market including in each one some well-known patterns that may affect volatility forecasts (asymmetry and sudden changes). The main empirical results show that more complex models including sudden changes in volatility outperform the simpler models in hedging effectiveness both with in-sample and out-of-sample analysis. However, the evidence is stronger when the loss distribution tail is used as a measure for the effectiveness (Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES)) suggesting that traditional measures based on the variance of the hedged portfolio should be used with caution.     

基于GARCH类模型和SV类模型的沪深两市波动性研究

以CSMAR数据库2007年2月27日至2008年5月14日共297个交易日的上证综指和深证综指的收盘价数据为研究对象,通过比较5类GARCH模型和两类SV模型对上证综指和深证综指样本内(2007年2月27日至2008年2月27日)收益率波动特征的描述能力以及样本外(2008年2月28日至2008年5月14日)收益率波动的预测能力,得出GARCH类模型相比SV类模型更适合描述中国证券市场的波动性.

多维GARCH模型的半参数有效估计

多元GARCH模型的估计一般采用拟极大似然法(quasi maximum likehood),对于这种方法估计的相合性及渐近正态性已经被很多学者证实,然而对于新息列的分布不是多元正态时,这种估计的有效性还没人研究,本文从拟极大似然估计得到的参数相合估计入手,提出用非参数方法估计多元新息列的分布.
