Book excerpt: This paper examines the volatility pattern in Indian stock markets during the time period January 1, 2011 to March 31, 2014 using the daily closing prices of two stock indices, S&P BSE Sensex and CNX Nifty. This paper uses asymmetric GARCH models like Exponential GARCH (EGARCH) and Threshold GARCH (TGARCH to explain the volatility. Considering the minimum values of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), TGARCH model is found to be a superior model for return volatility over EGARCH. The findings suggest that there is no volatility persistence as well as leverage effect in the data during the period under consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Volatility and Correlation 2nd edition: The Perfect Hedger and the Fox, Rebonato looks at derivatives pricing from the angle of volatility and correlation. With both practical and theoretical applications, this is a thorough update of the highly successful Volatility & Correlation – with over 80% new or fully reworked material and is a must have both for practitioners and for students. The new and updated material includes a critical examination of the ‘perfect-replication’ approach to derivatives pricing, with special attention given to exotic options; a thorough analysis of the role of quadratic variation in derivatives pricing and hedging; a discussion of the informational efficiency of markets in commonly-used calibration and hedging practices. Treatment of new models including Variance Gamma, displaced diffusion, stochastic volatility for interest-rate smiles and equity/FX options. The book is split into four parts. Part I deals with a Black world without smiles, sets out the author’s ‘philosophical’ approach and covers deterministic volatility. Part II looks at smiles in equity and FX worlds. It begins with a review of relevant empirical information about smiles, and provides coverage of local-stochastic-volatility, general-stochastic-volatility, jump-diffusion and Variance-Gamma processes. Part II concludes with an important chapter that discusses if and to what extent one can dispense with an explicit specification of a model, and can directly prescribe the dynamics of the smile surface. Part III focusses on interest rates when the volatility is deterministic. Part IV extends this setting in order to account for smiles in a financially motivated and computationally tractable manner. In this final part the author deals with CEV processes, with diffusive stochastic volatility and with Markov-chain processes. Praise for the First Edition: “In this book, Dr Rebonato brings his penetrating eye to bear on option pricing and hedging.... The book is a must-read for those who already know the basics of options and are looking for an edge in applying the more sophisticated approaches that have recently been developed.” —Professor Ian Cooper, London Business School “Volatility and correlation are at the very core of all option pricing and hedging. In this book, Riccardo Rebonato presents the subject in his characteristically elegant and simple fashion...A rare combination of intellectual insight and practical common sense.” —Anthony Neuberger, London Business School

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes a double tree structured AR-GARCH model for the analysis of stock index return series, which extends previous approaches to incorporate (i) an arbitrary number of multivariate thresholds in conditional means and volatilities of stock index returns and (ii) a richer specification for the impact of foreign index returns news in the determination of each regime threshold. The approach is based on the idea of a binary tree where every terminal node parameterizes a (local) AR-GARCH model for a partition cell of a (multivariate) state space. Each cell can depend on the conditioning values of domestic and foreign news as well. Thus, our model encompasses as special cases several ones in the literature like for instance the GJR-AR-GARCH model, the double TAR-GARCH model or the VS-GARCH model. We propose a computationally feasible algorithm that can be applied to estimate the model in practice. We estimate and evaluate the out-of-sample performance of our model for eight among the major stock-indices worldwide while allowing for the conditional impact of both US market news and domestic news in determining the multiple conditional mean and conditional variance thresholds. We find strong evidence for the presence of more than two regimes in conditional means and variances of stock index returns. Conditioning information from the US market often affects the estimated thresholds in the estimated model and has strong out-of-sample predictive power, improving the forecasts relatively to some competing models in the literature. By constrast, information on past domestic volatilities does not generally affect the mean and the volatility of the estimated thresholds. Specifically, with the exception of the Italian market we find at least two volatility regimes, due to an asymmetric structure of volatility as a function of bad and good domestic news. Moreover, in the majority of the series under scrutiny we also identify one further regime determined by the different impact of domestic news in the joint presence of either bad or good US market news.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete guide to the theory and practice of volatility models in financial engineering Volatility has become a hot topic in this era of instant communications, spawning a great deal of research in empirical finance and time series econometrics. Providing an overview of the most recent advances, Handbook of Volatility Models and Their Applications explores key concepts and topics essential for modeling the volatility of financial time series, both univariate and multivariate, parametric and non-parametric, high-frequency and low-frequency. Featuring contributions from international experts in the field, the book features numerous examples and applications from real-world projects and cutting-edge research, showing step by step how to use various methods accurately and efficiently when assessing volatility rates. Following a comprehensive introduction to the topic, readers are provided with three distinct sections that unify the statistical and practical aspects of volatility: Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity and Stochastic Volatility presents ARCH and stochastic volatility models, with a focus on recent research topics including mean, volatility, and skewness spillovers in equity markets Other Models and Methods presents alternative approaches, such as multiplicative error models, nonparametric and semi-parametric models, and copula-based models of (co)volatilities Realized Volatility explores issues of the measurement of volatility by realized variances and covariances, guiding readers on how to successfully model and forecast these measures Handbook of Volatility Models and Their Applications is an essential reference for academics and practitioners in finance, business, and econometrics who work with volatility models in their everyday work. The book also serves as a supplement for courses on risk management and volatility at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.

This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial market volatility plays a crucial role in financial decision making, as volatility forecasts are important input parameters in areas such as option pricing, hedging strategies, portfolio allocation and Value-at-Risk calculations. The fact that financial innovations arrive at an ever-increasing rate has motivated both academic researchers and practitioners and advances in this field have been considerable. The use of Stochastic Volatility (SV) models is one of the latest developments in this area. Empirical Studies on Volatility in International Stock Markets describes the existing techniques for the measurement and estimation of volatility in international stock markets with emphasis on the SV model and its empirical application. Eugenie Hol develops various extensions of the SV model, which allow for additional variables in both the mean and the variance equation. In addition, the forecasting performance of SV models is compared not only to that of the well-established GARCH model but also to implied volatility and so-called realised volatility models which are based on intraday volatility measures. The intended readers are financial professionals who seek to obtain more accurate volatility forecasts and wish to gain insight about state-of-the-art volatility modelling techniques and their empirical value, and academic researchers and students who are interested in financial market volatility and want to obtain an updated overview of the various methods available in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return is the major attribute of an investment asset which can be construed as a random variable, and the 'variability in return' can be interpreted as volatility. Forecasting volatility and modeling it are the most prolific areas for research. This paper empirically investigates the conditional variance (volatility) pattern in Indian stock market based on financial time series data that consists of daily closing prices of CNX Nifty 50 market index for 10 years from April 2006 to March 2016. For the purpose of estimating conditional variance (volatility) in the daily returns of the index, Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models are employed. Both symmetric and asymmetric models are used to capture stylized facts about CNX Nifty 50 market index returns such as volatility clustering and leverage effect. The findings of the study show that the asymmetric models are a better fit than symmetric models, confirming the presence of volatility clustering and leverage effect.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper compares the volatility of spot prices (dealership market) with that of futures prices (auction market) to test the implications of different trading mechanisms for the volatility of prices. First, a natural estimator of the volatility is sued. Using the intraday data of the major Market Index and its futures prices, we show that the volatility of opening prices is higher than that of closing prices not only in the spot market but in the futures market, and that the intraday volatility patterns are U-shaped in both markets. Of particular interest is that futures prices do not appear to be as volatile as spot prices when the natural estimator of volatility is used, to the contrary of the conventional wisdom. We argue that the different volatility patterns during the day are not necessarily due to the different trading mechanisms, auction market versus dealership market. Instead, after developing a simple theoretical model of speculative prices, we show that at least part of the different volatility patterns during the day may be attributable to speculative behavior of investors based on heterogeneous information. In addition, we further investigate the volatilities of spot and futures prices using a temporal estimator of price volatility as an alternative to the natural estimator. Based on the temporal estimator, we cannot find any systematic pattern of volatilities during the day in both spot and futures markets, and that futures prices appear to be more volatile than spot prices in terms of how quickly the price moves beyond a given unit price level, but not in terms of how much the price changes during a given unit time interval. Some policy implications are also discussed.
