Some researchers argue that such ersistecy is due to volatility shifts i the maret, while others believe that this is a atural fluctuatio exlaied by statioary log-rage deedece models. These two aroaches cofuse may ractitioers, ad forecasts for future volatility are dramatically differet deedig o which models to use. I this article, therefore, we cosider a statistical testig rocedure to distiguish volatility shifts i geeralized AR coditioal heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model agaist log-rage deedece. ur testig rocedure is based o the residual-based cumulative sum test, which is desiged to correct the size distortio observed for GARCH models. We examie the validity of our method by rovidig asymtotic distributios of test statistic. Also, Mote Carlo simulatios study shows that our roosed method achieves a good size while rovidig a reasoable ower agaist log-rage deedece. It is also observed that our test is robust to the missecified GARCH models.

INTRDUCTIN Sice the semial articles of Egle (98) ad Bollerslev (986), geeralized AR coditioal heteroscedasticity (GARCH, i short) models have bee a oular tool to aalyse the stylized features o the volatility of fiacial time series. I the alicatios of GARCH models, however, the arameter estimatio frequetly idicates high ersistece. That is, the sum of the estimated coefficiets of the squared lagged returs ad the lagged coditioal variace terms i GARCH models becomes closer to for larger samle sizes. To icororate such observatios ito a model, the itegrated GARCH (IGARCH, i short) model was itroduced by Egle ad Bollerslev (986). Ufortuately, the ractitioers ad researchers have bee doubtful that IGARCH models have a ractical use for modellig ad log-term forecastig of volatility i fiacial alicatios. This is maily because IGARCH modellig of fiacial time series has bee reorted to be surious whe volatility shifts or model missecificatios are reset i GARCH models. See, for examle, Miosch ad Stărică (4), Beres et al. (5), Hillebrad (5), Jese ad Lage () ad refereces therei. A alterative way to icororate high ersistece is to use log-rage deedet modellig of time series for suitably trasformed data, for examle, absolute retur or squared retur. Amog may other literatures, for istace, Dig et al. (993) ad Baillie et al. (996) documet that log-rage deedece (LRD, i short) successfully catures the stylized facts of fiacial time series volatility. Here, LRD for series D¹ º Z refers to a secod-order statioary time series with a slowly decayig autocovariace fuctio for large lags as Corresodece to: Chagryog Bae, Deartmet of Statistics, Sugyuwa Uiversity, 5-, Sugyuwa-ro, Jogo-gu, Seoul, Korea crbae@su.edu

BAEK.h/ D Cov. ; h / Ch d ; as h!; () where C>is a costat ad d.; =/ is the LRD arameter. bserve that uder coditio (), autocovariaces of LRD series are ot absolutely summable, P hd j.h/j DC.theotherhad,whethesum of autocovariaces is absolutely summable, that is, P hd j.h/j <, it is referred to as short-rage deedece (SRD, i short). However, it has a log history ad debates over the use of LRD modellig because of the o-statioary-lie features of LRD. I short, LRD series has slowly decayig ositive autocovariace fuctios, so a statioary LRD series exhibits aeriodic local shifts for fiite samles. It meas that volatility shifts ca roduce surious LRD (e.g. Klemeš, 974; Teverovsy, 999; Diebold ad Ioue, ; Miosch ad Stărică, 4 ad refereces therei). Therefore, rior to modellig the volatility of fiacial time series, it is crucial to mae a decisio o the selectio of the true data geeratig rocess amog IGARCH, volatility shifts ad LRD. For volatility shifts, i articular, we oly cosider GARCH models o subsamles, also ow as chagig-arameter GARCH models for ractical modellig ersectives. To be more secific, our test cosiders two hyotheses: H.R/ W VS Rmodel agaist H W LRDmodels; where VS-R reresets that volatility shifts have occurred at uow R locatios; hece, each GARCH model is fitted for (RC) regimes. Also, ote that the VS-R model is o-statioary, while LRD is secod-order statioary; hece, its imlicatios o the log-term forecastig of volatility could be dramatically differet. Therefore, their discrimiatio is a iterestig ad imortat roblem attractig may researchers for the last few decades. Sice the locatios of volatility shifts are uow, they eed to be estimated. We focus o the oular cumulative sum (CUSUM) tye of test statistic sice a exlicit test statistic is available ad very easy to calculate. For examle, Koosza ad Leius () first cosidered the CUSUM test of squared asset returs for a sigle volatility shift by adatig the idea of the CUSUM statistic i detectig mea chages with i.i.d. observatios. However, Adreou ad Ghysels () reorted that the CUSUM test of Koosza ad Leius () suffers from size distortios for fiite samles due to strog deedece o observatios. e may correct such a size distortio by cosiderig the so-called Bartlett log-ru variace estimator i the CUSUM test roosed by Beres et al. (6) ad Zhag et al. (7). However, the Bartlett log-ru variace estimator is very sesitive to the choice of erel badwidth ad cotributes to low ower agaist LRD as oited out by Teverovsy et al. (999) ad Bae ad Piiras (). To overcome such shortcomigs, we adat the so-called residual-based CUSUM test studied earlier. The residual-based CUSUM test uses the stadardized residuals from a estimated GARCH model. Such residuals mimic iovatio series i GARCH model; hece, deedece amogst observatios ca be dimiished i the residual-based CUSUM statistic. For examle, Lee et al. (4) cosidered a residual-based CUSUM test of arameter chages i regressio models with AR./ errors. Their statistic, however, eeded tuig arameters for trucatio ad cosidered test for o arameter chage oly. Kulerger ad Yu (5) studied may iterestig theoretical roerties o the high-momet artial sum of GARCH residuals ad roosed residual-based CUSUM test free from tuig arameter selectio for trucatio. However, their wor was still cofied to the test for o volatility shifts ad always trucated the first observatio. de Pooter ad va Dij (4) coducted extesive simulatios for volatility shifts ad showed that the residual-based CUSUM test erforms reasoably well amogst other methods. I our article, we study theoretical roerties of the residual-based CUSUM test uder the multile-volatility-shifts cotext. Note also that our roosed method does ot trucate ay observatios. The erformace of our roosed method is umerically evaluated for various tyes of volatility models icludig missecified models. The orgaizatio of this article is as follows. I Sectio, we itroduce our testig rocedure for o volatility shifts agaist LRD. At this stage, the IGARCH model ca also be dismissed from cosideratio. The, the testig rocedure is further examied for a sigle volatility shift i Sectio 3, ad it leads to atural geeralizatio to ow R umber of volatility shifts.

Coclusios ad further discussios ca be foud i Sectio 6, ad roofs of theorems are rovided i Sectio 7.. TEST FR N VLATILITY SHIFTS AGAINST LRD Here, we cosider the testig rocedure of o volatility shifts o the observed volatility series ¹r t º tz agaist LRD. I may fiacial time series, volatility is measured by log-retur defied as r t D log P t log P t ; () where P t reresets the asset rice or stoc idex at time t. The, the celebrated GARCH.; q/ model for ¹r t º tz satisfies the followig relatioshi r t D t t ; t D! C q id i r ti C j D j tj ; (3) where the iovatio ¹ t º tz is a sequece of stadard, that is, E t D ad Et D, i.i.d. radom variables. It is also assumed that! >; i for all i D ; : : : ; q ad j for all j D ; : : : ;. The true arameter vector is deoted by D.! ; ;:::; q ; ;:::; /. Hereafter, the GARCH model i (3) is also deoted by VS- model for shortess s sae. For the LRD model, it is widely reorted that the retur series ¹r t º tz itself exhibits little autocorrelatios, while ower trasformatio of retur data such as ¹rt º tz exhibits roouced autocorrelatios. Therefore, we assume that ¹rt º tz is a LRD series satisfyig () for alterative hyothesis. Poular models of such tyes iclude the log-memory ARCH (LM-ARCH) model of Dig ad Grager (996), the closely related fractioally itegrated GARCH (FIGARCH) model of Baillie et al. (996) (although theoretical justificatio o log-memory roerty ad the existece of statioary solutio is ot fully aswered, see Giraitis et al., a) ad the log-memory liear ARCH (LM-LARCH) model of Giraitis et al. (b). We ca further cosider the log-memory stochastic volatility model sice it is well ow that, uder mild assumtios, the ower-trasformed series ¹jr t j º tz for ay >is agai LRD i the sese of () with LRD arameter d.

Now, we are iterested i testig the followig hyotheses: H./ :Theobserveddata¹r tº tz follow the VS- model. H :Theobserveddata¹r t º tz follow the LRD model. Note that GARCH.; q/ models are SRD because of the geometric ergodicity of radom differece equatios (e.g. Basra et al., ). I fact, Giraitis et al. (a) showed that all the ARCH./ models, which ecasule the class of GARCH.; q/ models ad eve hyerbolically decayig coefficiets, are SRD uder mild assumtios. It is deduced that ¹jr t j º tz ; >is also SRD, to be more recise, geometrically ergodic, sice f.x/djxj is acotiuoustrasformatio.therefore,theaforemetioedtestessetiallydistiguishessrdadlrdmodels. bserve also that the VS- model ecasules the IGARCH model, that is, P q id i C P j D j D, siceour model (3) oly assumed that arameters ¹ i º ad ¹ j º are o-egative.

BAEK where s is a suitable estimator of the log-ru variace D P hd Cov.r ;r h /.However,theCUSUMtest for GARCH models is reorted to suffer from size distortios ad low owers i fiite samles (e.g. Lee et al., 4; de Pooter ad va Dij, 4). This is because of the widely observed fact that log-ru variace estimators such as heteroscedasticity ad autocorrelatio-cosistet estimators are sesitive to the choice of erel badwidth whe correlatios betwee observatios are strog as i the case of GARCH.; q/. Istead, we byass such deficit by taig ucorrelated observatios ito accout. e such atural cadidate is to cosider the CUSUM test based o the iovatio series ¹ t º i (3). That is, T D max t td so the log-ru variace is simly give by Var. / sice ¹ tº are a i.i.d. sequece of radom variables. However, ote that ¹ t º is uobservable ad hece eeds to be estimated.

We will also refer to (5) as the residuals i the cotext of Kulerger ad Yu (5). Fially, the CUSUM statistic based o the estimated iovatio series ¹Q t º is defied as where QT D max td td ; (7) D Q 4 t td td! is a method-of-momet estimator of Var. /. It is worth otig that ay -cosistet estimator ca be used to defie the residuals (5). I articular, we emloy the Gaussia quasi-maximum lielihood estimate (QMLE) based o the stadard ormal desity, which is show to be asymtotically ormally distributed by Fracq ad Zaoïa (4).

The emirical ower agaist LRD is still owerful at this stage for moderate samle sizes. Therefore, it ca be deduced that our roosed method successfully distiguishes volatility shifts agaist LRD.

(993), which is differet from the coditioal variace i (3) of GARCH models, as follows: t D! C.j t j t / C t with >ad <<. This model is well ow to reflect the asymmetry of asset returs o volatility (e.g. Paolella, ; Giot ad Lauret, 4; Hartz et al., 6). Tables V VI reort the emirical sizes of testig for a sigle volatility shift whe the data are geerated from GARCH(, ) ad A-PARCH(, ) models with a arameter chage i the midoit, but GARCH(, ) model is fitted. Agai, the emirical sizes are close to the omial 5% sigificace level as samle size icreases. We have observed similar coclusios for over-secified model i GARCH models, but ot reorted here for brevity. I summary, our simulatio study strogly demostrates the validity of our tests i various tyes of model missecificatios. 5. REAL DATA APPLICATINS We illustrate here how to aly our roosed method to aalyse the volatility of a stoc idex. The volatility is measured by daily log-returs defied i (), where P t is the daily stoc idex of iterest. Four differet daily stoc idices, amely KSPI, KSDAQ, S&P5 ad Niei 5 from 4 Jauary 999 to 3 August, are cosidered. The data are lotted i Figure, ad samle autocorrelatio fuctios of squared log-returs are deicted i Figure. We emloy the GARCH(, ) model for the coditioal volatility model, ad arameter estimates are rovided i Table VII. First, we observe very high ersistece i volatility o all stoc idices from Table VII. Also, Figure reveals ossible volatility shifts, for examle, aroud the th observatio for KSDAQ idices. the other had, samle autocorrelatio fuctios of squared log-returs i Figure decay slowly i a hyerbolic fashio for all stoc idices cosidered excet Niei 5. I tur, it substatiates LRD modellig for squared log-returs. This exactly shows that we eed to distiguish betwee volatility shifts ad LRD models for a better exlaatio of observatios. We first aly the test for o volatility shifts, ad the results are show i Table VIII. Uder the 5% sigificace level, we do ot reject the ull hyothesis of H./ : VS- for KSPI, S&P5 ad NIKKEI5 idices.

However, we reject the ull hyothesis of o volatility shifts for the KSDAQ idex, so we coduct the testig of H./ :VS- cosequetly. The chage oit is estimated by D 6 (8 Aril 3) from Koosza ad Leius () with test statistics M D :648, adthecorresodig-value is.565. Hece, uder the 5% sigificace level, we coclude that the VS- GARCH(, ) model is referred to LRD models. The arameter estimates of the fial VS- GARCH(, ) model are reseted i Table I. bserve that the ersistece i two subsamles is weaeed comared with the estimated VS- GARCH(, ) model i Table VII. Furthermore, the estimated ad samle stadard deviatios idicate that the volatility shifts from high to low eriods for the KSDAQ idex. Figure 3 comares coditioal volatility estimated from VS- GARCH(, ) ad VS- GARCH(, ) with a chage oit at D 6.

CNCLUSINS AND DISCUSSINS I this article, we have itroduced a simle but effective testig rocedure o distiguishig volatility shifts i GARCH agaist LRD. ur testig rocedure is based o the CUSUM statistic from residual series obtaied after fittig GARCH models. Sice correlatios are sigificatly removed i our test, our test erforms better tha the usual CUSUM test based o origial observatios. Simulatios study cofirms that our testig rocedure imroves the usual CUSUM test by achievig good size ad rovidig reasoable ower agaist LRD alteratives. I additio, our method is robust to various tyes of model missecificatios such as GARCH orders, heavier tails ad asymmetry. We have assumed that the umber of volatility shifts is ow i riori. Here, we briefly discuss about estimatig the umber of chage-oits by alyig the so-called biary segmetatio (BS) method. BS method rovides acosistetestimateotheumberofchage-oitswhilecomutatioallyveryefficiet.see,forexamle, Vostriova (98) ad Bai (997). The algorithm is very simle due to its recursive structure. First, start with the whole samle ¹r ;:::;r º,aderformthetestigofH./ : VS-. The test statistic is give i (7) ad we reject the ull hyothesis based o (8) for a give level of sigificace. ce the hyotheses is rejected, we ext test H./ :VS-.Tothised,weestimatethefirstchage-oit as i () ad calculate test statistic i (). If it is ot rejected accordig± to asymtotics i (8), ± we set R D. therwise, we slit the whole samle ito two subsamles, r ;:::;r ad r ;:::; C. The, we ca reeat exactly the same testig rocedure to detect a sigle chage-oit ± for each subsamle. For examle, if the testig o a sigle chage-oit is rejected o r ;:::;r,wecaslititfurtheritotwosubsamlesadcotiuetestigtillofurtherchage-oits were foud. The fial estimated umber of chage-oits is give as the umber of subsamles mius. Sice the chage-oit estimator of Koosza ad Leius () i () satisfies (6), similar to Proositio of Bai (997) where chages i mea model has bee cosidered, uder suitable assumtios, we have the followig cosistecy result: P R D R! ; as!; (9) where the size of the test D./ is such that./! but lim if!./ >. e may cosider the volatility shifts i the sese of the followig model r t D ;t t ; if t ;t t ; if <t ; () where m;t D! m C P q id m;ir ti C P j D m;j m;tj for m D ;, isteadof(9)ad().thatis,the volatility beyod is determied by the observatios aterior to.themodel()seemstobemoreituitive modellig of volatility shifts. However, we cosider volatility shifts i the sese of (9) ad () by followig the framewor of Koosza ad Leius () due to its theoretical advatages. Also, our simulatio study, ot reorted here for brevity, shows that both models give almost the same results. It would be a iterestig future wor to examie theoretical roerties of chage-oit estimator of Koosza ad Leius () uder the model assumtio (). 7.. Proof of Theorem 7.
