3 Overview and General Ideas In all finance applications, modeling and forecasting volatility or the covariance structure of asset returns, is crucial Financial economists are concerned with modeling volatility in (individual) asset and portfolio returns because volatility is considered a measure of risk, and investors want a risk premium As you known, banks and other financial institutions apply so-called value-at-risk (VaR) models to assess their risks Modeling and forecasting volatility or, in other words, the covariance structure of asset returns, is therefore important Three steps of a stepwise distribution modeling (SDM) approach: ❶ Establish a variance forecasting model for each of the assets individually and introduce methods for evaluating the performance of these forecasts ❷ Consider ways to model conditionally non-normal aspects of the returns on assets in our portfolio i.e., aspects that are not captured by conditional means, variances, and covariances 3
4 Overview and General Ideas Most time series of asset returns, bond yields and exchange rates exhibit time-varying means, variances, and covariances ❸ Link individual variance forecasts with a correlation model The variance and correlation models together will yield a timevarying covariance model, which can be used to calculate the variance of an aggregate portfolio of assets The idea that second moments vary over time has an even deeper importance While most classical finance is built on the assumption that both asset returns and their underlying fundamentals are IID Normal over time, casual inspection of GDP, financial aggregates, interest rates, exchange rates etc. reveals that these series display time-varying means, variances, and covariances Fundamentals = quantities that justify asset prices in a rational framework 4
5 Three Key Results to Bear in Mind When variances and covariances are time-varying we speak about conditional HETEROSKEDASTICITY 3 simple facts to remember and understand: 1 The fact that the conditional variance may change in heteroskedastic fashion, does not necessarily mean the series is non-stationary Even though the variance may go through high and low periods, the unconditional (long-run, steady-state, average) variance may exist and be actually constant 2 Conditional heteroskedasticity implies that the unconditional, long-run distribution of asset returns will be non-normal 3 Many models of conditional heteroskedasticity, but in the end we care for their forecasting performance E.g., consider the (dividend-corrected) realized returns on a valueweighted index (by CRSP) of NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ stocks 5
6 Volatility Clustering in the Data For most (all?) financial time series, volatility clusters : high (low) volatility tends to be followed by high (low) volatility Sample period is 1972: :12, monthly data Our objective is to develop models that can fit the sequence of calm and turbulent periods and especially forecast them Note: value-weighted NYSE/AMEX/NASDAQ are ptf. returns! 6
7 Volatility Clustering & Serial Correlation in Squares A standard autocorrelogram can be used to test the hypothesis that asset returns are IID variables As seen in Lecture 1, there is weak serial correlation in returns This lack of correlation means that, given yesterday s return, today s return is equally likely to be positive or negative The autocorrelation estimates from a standard autocorrelogram can be used to test the hypothesis that the process generating observed returns is a series of independent and identically distributed (IID) variables The asymptotic standard error of an autocorrelation estimate is approximately 1/(T) 1/2, where T is the sample size The IID hypothesis can be tested using the Portmanteau Q-statistic of Box and Pierce (1970), calculated from the first k autocorrelations as: 7
8 Volatility Clustering & Serial Correlation in Squares A standard autocorrelogram can be used to test the hypothesis that asset returns are IID variables The asymptotic distribution of the Q k statistic, under the null of an IID process, is Chi-square, with k degrees of freedom VW CRSP Stock Returns 10 Year U.S. Govt. Bond Returns Does this mean that stock & bond returns are (approximately) IID? Unfortunately not: it turns out that the squares and absolute values of stock and bond returns display high and significant autocorrelations 8
9 Volatility Clustering & Serial Correlation in Squares The high dependence in series of absolute returns proves that the returns process is not made up of IID random variables VW CRSP Squared Stock Returns 10 Year U.S. Govt. Squared Bond Returns Of course, similar evidence applies to REIT and 1M T-bills The high dependence in series of absolute returns proves that the returns process is not made up of IID random variables Large squared returns are more likely to be followed by large squared returns than small squared returns are 9
10 Volatility Clustering & Serial Correlation in Squares The high dependence in series of absolute/squared returns proves that the return process is not IID Here the conceptual point is that while the opposite does not hold: How to explain this phenomenon? If changes in price volatility create clusters of high and low volatility, this may reflect changes in the flow of relevant information to the market These stylized facts can be explained by assuming that volatility follows a stochastic process where today s volatility is positively correlated with the volatility on any future day This is what ARCH and GARCH models are for, but first we introduce a few alternatives that historically were developed before ARCH and GARCH were 10
11 Naïve Models: Rolling Window Forecasts In a rolling window variance model the forecast of time t+1 variance is a moving average of m recent squared returns Consider the simple model for one asset (or ptf.) return: Here R t+1 is the continuously compounded return and z t+1 is a pure shock to returns, z t+1 = R t+1 / t+1 The model assumes (as in Christoffersen s book) that the mean = 0 This is an acceptable approximation on daily data; absent this assumption, the model is R t+1 = + t+1 z t+1 The assumption of normality will be discussed/removed in lecture 6 The easiest way to capture volatility clustering is by letting tomorrow s variance be the simple average of the most recent m observations, as in Constant weighting 11
12 Naïve Models: Rolling Window Forecasts A high m will lead to an excessively smoothly evolving t+1, and a low m will lead to an excessively jagged pattern of t+1 However, the fact that the model puts equal weights (equal to 1/m) on the past m observations yields unwarranted results When plotted over time, variance exhibits box-shaped patterns An extreme return (positive or negative) today will bump up variance by 1/m times the return squared for exactly m periods after which variance immediately will drop back down The autocorrelation plot of squared returns suggests that a more gradual decline is warranted in the effect of past returns on today s variance Also: how shall we pick m? 12
13 Naïve Models: RiskMetrics In JP Morgan s RiskMetrics model the forecast of variance is a weighted avg. of today s variance and today s squared return A more interesting model is JP Morgan s RiskMetrics system: The weights on past squared returns decline exponentially as we move backward in time: 1,, 2, Also called the exponential variance smoother Because for = 1 we have 0 = 1, it is possible to re-write it as: which is equivalent to: See lecture notes for why this is the case A weighted avg. of today s variance and today s squared return 13
14 Naïve Models: RiskMetrics The key advantages of the RiskMetrics model are: ❶ Recent returns matter more for tomorrow s variance than distant returns do as is less than 1 and therefore gets smaller when the lag,, gets bigger ❷ It only contains one unknown parameter, When estimating on a large number of assets, RiskMetrics found that the estimates were quite similar across assets, and therefore simply set = 0.94 for every asset for daily data In this case, no estimation is necessary ❸ Little data need to be stored in order to calculate tomorrow s variance; in fact, after including 100 lags of squared returns, the cumulated weight is already close to 100% Of course, once R 2 t, is calculated, past returns are not needed Given all these advantages of the RiskMetrics model, why not simply end the discussion on variance forecasting here? 14
15 Naïve Models: RiskMetrics 15
16 Naïve Models: RiskMetrics 16
17 ARCH Models In a ARCH(q) model the forecasts of variance depends on q lags of squared returns, 2 t+1 = + 1 R 2 t + 2 R 2 t q R 2 t-q+1 The RiskMetrics model has a number of shortcomings, but these can be understood only after introducing ARCH models Historically, ARCH models were the first-line alternative developed to compete with exponential smoothers In the zero-mean return case, their structure is very simple: This is a ARCH(1) However, historically it was soon obvious that just using one lag of past squared returns would not be sufficient One needs to use a large number q > 1 of lags on the RHS This means that squared returns are best modeled using an AR(q) instead of a simple AR(1) Yet ARCH(1) already implies one complication: they require nonlinear parameter estimation 17
18 Generalized ARCH (GARCH) Models In a GARCH(1,1) the forecast of variance depends on one lag of squared returns and on past variance, 2 t+1 = + R 2 t + 2 t But from the first part of this course, you know already where to look for: ARMA models The simplest generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH(1,1)) model is:, α > 0, β > 0 The implied, unconditional, or long-run average, variance, 2, is This derives from Furthermore, if one solves for from the long-run variance expression and substitutes it into the GARCH equation: 18
19 GARCH Models: Forecasting Long-run forecasts in a GARCH(1,1) are a function of the persistence ( + ) and of initial deviations from steady-state Therefore a GARCH(1,1) implies that tomorrow s variance is a weighted average of the long-run variance, today s squared return, and today s variance Or, tomorrow s variance is predicted to be the long-run average variance with: something added (subtracted) if today s squared return is above (below) its long-run average, and something added (subtracted) if today s variance is above (below) its long-run average How do you forecast variance in a GARCH model? The one-day forecast of variance, 2 t+1 t, is given directly by the model as 2 t+1; as for multi-periods forecasts, one can show that: 19
20 GARCH Models: Forecasting This implies that as the forecast horizon H grows, because for ( + ) < 1 implies that ( + ) H-1 0, then E t [ 2 t+h] 2 For shorter horizons instead, E t [ 2 t+h] > 2 when 2 t+1 > 2 and viceversa when 2 t+1 < 2 The conditional expectation, E t [ ], refers to taking the expectation using all the information available at the end of day t, which includes the squared return on day t itself ( + ) plays a crucial role and it is commonly called the persistence level/index of the model A high persistence, ( + ) close to 1, implies that shocks which push variance away from its long-run average will persist for a long time Of course, eventually the long-horizon forecast will be the long-run average variance, 2 In asset allocation problems, we sometimes care for the variance of long-horizon returns, 20
21 GARCH Models: Forecasting The variance of cumulative, H-period returns is not simply H times the long run variance of each return As we assume that returns have zero autocorrelation (from their sample stats), the variance of the cumulative H-day returns is: Solving in the GARCH(1,1) case, we have: You will see in a moment why establishing a difference w.r.t. H 2 t+1 is so important Let s now compare GARCH(1,1) and RiskMetrics: are they so different? In a way they are not: comparing with you can see that RiskMetrics is just a a special case of GARCH(1,1) 21
22 GARCH Models: Comparison with RiskMetrics A JPM RiskMetrics(1,1) model is just a special, restricted, nonstationary case of GARCH(1,1) A RiskMetrics model is a special case in which = 0 and = = 1 so that, equivalently, + = 1; this has a number of implications: Implication 1: because = 0 and + = 1, under RiskMetrics the long-run variance does not exist as gives an indeterminate ratio 0/0 While RiskMetrics ignores that long-run average variance tends to be relatively stable over time, a GARCH model with ( + ) < 1 does not Equivalently, while a GARCH with ( + ) < 1 is a stationary process, a RiskMetrics model is not Implication 2: because, under RiskMetrics + = 1, so that H which means that any shock to current variance is destined to persist forever 22
23 GARCH Models: Comparison with RiskMetrics In a JPM RiskMetrics(1,1) model long-run variance does not exist (it explodes), any shock to current variance persists forever, and the variance of long-horizon returns is H 2 t+1 If today is a high-variance day, then the RiskMetrics model predicts that all future days will be high-variance A GARCH more realistically assumes that eventually in the future variance will revert to the average value Implication 3: Under RiskMetrics, the variance of long-horizon returns is: t+h /H What is the density, the distribution of long-horizon returns implied by these models? Impossible to show in closed form, see the posted lecture notes Lecture 6: Univariate volatility α = 0.05, β = 0.90, σ 2 = GARCH(1,1) RiskMetrics 23
24 GARCH Models with Leverage According to the leverage (asymmetric variance) effect, a negative return increases variance by more than a positive return of the same magnitude A number of papers have emphasized that a negative return increases variance by more than a positive return of the same magnitude This may be because, in the case of stocks, as a negative return on a stock implies a drop in the equity value, which implies that the company becomes more highly levered and thus riskier (assuming the level of debt stays constant) We can modify GARCH models so that the weight given to the return depends on whether the return is positive or negative This is described by the (sample) news impact curve (NIC) The NIC measures how new information is incorporated into volatility, i.e. it shows the relationship between the current return R t and conditional variance one period ahead 2 t+1, holding constant all other past and current information 24
25 GARCH Models with Leverage: EGARCH The news impact curve describes the relationship between the current return R t and conditional variance 2 t+1 In a GARCH(1,1) model we have: NIC(R t 2 t+1 = 2 ) = + R 2 t + 2 = A + R 2 t which is a quadratic function of R 2 t and therefore symmetric around 0 (with intercept A + 2 ) Problem: for most return series, the empirical NIC fails to be symmetric EGARCH is probably the most prominent asymmetric GARCH Asymmetric NIC As in ARCH models, in GARCH models the negativity of parameters may create difficulties in estimation Nelson (1991) has proposed a new form of GARCH, the Exponential GARCH (EGARCH), in which positivity of the conditional variance is ensured by the fact that ln( 2 t+1 ) is directly modeled GARCH 25
26 GARCH Models with Leverage: EGARCH An EGARCH model features both asymmetries and nonlinearities and it avoids constrained ML estimation Two types of EGARCH(1,1) found in the applied literature; the first type is the one originally proposed by Nelson Letting z t [R t / t ], the logconditional variance is: R The sequence g(z t ) is a zero-mean, i.i.d. random sequence: If z t > 0, g(z t ) is linear in z t with slope + 1 If z t < 0, g(z t ) is linear in z t with slope - 1 Thus, g(z t ) is function of both the magnitude and the sign of z t and it allows the conditional variance process to respond asymmetrically to rises and falls in stock prices Can be rewritten as t t 26
27 GARCH Models with Leverage The term represents a magnitude effect: If 1 > 0 and = 0, the innovations in the conditional variance are positive (negative) when the magnitude of z t is larger (smaller) than its expected value If 1 = 0 and < 0, the innovation in conditional variance is positive (negative) when returns innovations are negative (positive), in accordance with empirical evidence for stock returns Another way of capturing the leverage effect is to define an indicator variable, I t, to take on the value 1 if day t return is negative and zero otherwise The variance dynamics can now be specified as Equivalent to have 2 t+1 = + (1 + )R 2 t + 2 t after negative returns and 2 t+1 = + R 2 t + 2 t after positive ones 27
28 GARCH Models with Leverage: Threshold GARCH In a TARCH model the reaction to shocks is captured by a stepwise linear fnct. that differs for positive vs. negative shocks A positive θ will again capture the leverage effect This model is sometimes referred to as the GJR-GARCH model or threshold GARCH (TARCH) model GJR = Glosten, Jagannathan, and Runkle In this model, because when 50% of the shocks will be negative and the other 50% positive, long run variance is [ /(1 - ( θ) - )]; the persistence index is [ ( θ) + ] There is also a smaller literature that has connected time-varying volatility not to time series features, but to observable economic phenomena, especially at daily frequencies For instance, days where no trading takes place days that follow a weekend or a holiday have higher variance: where IT=1 in correspondence to a day that follows a weekend 28
29 GARCH Models with Predetermined Variables Other predetermined variables could be yesterday s trading volume or prescheduled news announcement dates such as company earnings and FOMC meetings dates Option implied volatilities have quite a high predictive value in forecasting next-day variance, e.g., the CBOE VIX (squared) In general, such models that use explanatory variables to capture time-variation in variance are represented as: where X t are predetermined variables Important to ensure that the GARCH model always generates a positive variance forecast You need to ensure that,,, and g(x t ) are all positive How do you estimate a GARCH model? This means, how do you estimated the fixed but unknown parameters,, and? 29
30 Maximum Likelihood Estimation GARCH models are estimated by maximum likelihood on the basis of a Gaussian assumption for shocks to returns To perform point estimation, you need to propose one estimator (or method of estimation) with good properties For GARCH, maximum likelihood (MLE) is such method The method is simply based on knowledge of the likelihood function, which is affine to the joint probability density function (PDF) of all of your data Because the assumption of IID normal shocks (z t ) implies that the density of the time t observation is: Because each shock is independent of the others, the total probability (PDF) of the entire sample is then the product of T such densities: 30
31 Maximum Likelihood Estimation This is also called the likelihood function; however, because it is more convenient to work with sums than with products, we usually consider the log of the likelihood function, also called log-likelihood function The idea is the the log-lik (its nickname) depends on the unknown parameters in a (say) GARCH (1,1), 2 t = + R 2 t t-1 Therefore we shall simply maximize such log-lik to select the unknown parameters: maximize + the log-lik MLE How do you do it, with paper and pencil? In the case of GARCH, no, you need to perform numerical constrained optimization What? That s why we shall need Eviews or Matlab (or Excel?!) 31
32 Maximum Likelihood Estimation Under regularity conditions, MLEs are consistent, asymptotically normal, and minimum variance estimators Note: you need to estimate imposing constraints on the parameters to keep variance positive and the process stationary Need to impose > 0, 0, 0, and ( + ) < 1 MLEs have very strong theoretical properties: They are consistent estimators: this means that as the sample size T, the probability that the value of the estimators (in repeated samples) shows a large divergence from the true (unfortunately unknown) parameter values, goes to 0 They are the most efficient estimators (i.e., those that give estimates with the smallest standard errors, in repeated samples) among all the (asymptotically) unbiased estimators Please also see posted Stat prep course notes for details What is asymptotically unbiased? Something related to consistent (not exactly the same, but the same for most cases) 32
33 Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation (QMLE) Consistent QML estimators are obtained incorrectly assuming a normal distribution, if the conditional mean and variance functions are correctly specified Something to note: MLE requires knowledge of Who told you that this is actually the case? What if, with your data, this is probably NOT the case? Can we still somehow do what we described above and enjoy some of the good properties of MLE? Answer: Yes it is called quasi (or pseudo) maximum likelihood estimation (QMLE) Key result: even if the conditional distribution of the shocks z t is not normal, MLE will yield estimates of the mean and variance parameters, which converge to the true parameters as the sample gets infinitely large. as long as the mean and variance fncts are correctly specified Correctly specified = the models for conditional mean and variance functions are right (in a statistical sense) 33
34 Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation (QMLE) QML estimators are less efficient than ML estimators In short, the QMLE result says: you can still use MLE estimation even when the shocks are not normally distributed if your choices of conditional mean and variance function are good z t will have to be anyway IID; you can just do without normality Conditional mean function = how t depends on past information in more general model is R t+1 = t+1 + t+1 z t+1 Conditional variance fnct: GARCH(p,q), TARCH(p,q), RiskMetrics, etc. In practice, QMLE buys us the freedom to worry about the conditional distribution later on, and we will Too good to be true: what is the true cost of QMLE? Simple, QMLEs will in general be less efficient than those from MLE We trade-off theoretical asymptotic efficiency and practicality QMLE comes in handy also when holds: when we shall need to split-up estimation in different stages 34
35 Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation (QMLE) Why would you do that? Sometimes practicality again, sometimes to avoid numerical maximization problems (also called laziness ) Example 1 (Variance Targeting): Because you know that the longrun (ergodic) variance from a GARCH(1,1) is, instead of estimating,,, you simply set to be proportional to the long-run, average variance of the series, which is easily estimated beforehand as Two benefits: (i) you impose the long-run variance estimate on the GARCH model directly and avoid that the model yields nonsensical estimates; (ii) you have reduced the number of parameters to be estimated in the model by one Example 2 (TARCH estimation in two steps): Given a GJR model, you perform a 1st round of GARCH estimation (setting θ = 0) obtaining estimates of,, as well as filtered variance 2 t+1 35
36 Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation (QMLE) Two-step, seemingly ML estimation can be seen as a QMLE GARCH models can be generalized by extending the NIC to incorporate new and specific features Call these estimates *, *, and * Next you regress ( 2 t+1 - *) on (i) *R 2 t, (ii) *I t R 2 t, and (iii) * 2 t to obtain an estimate of θ, call it θ* You keep iterating on this process until convergence Of course nobody would really do that, but the point is: even these estimates, because they are not obtained in one single-pass using all the available information, will be QMLE estimates Three dimensions in which simple ( plain vanilla ) GARCH may be generalized Writing general NICs as part of the model specification Recall: NIC measures the reaction of 2 t+1 to standardized shocks z t E.g., in GARCH(1,1) case, NIC(z t ) = 2 t z 2 t (because R 2 t = 2 t z 2 t) 36
37 Generalizing GARCH Models: N(A)GARCH A Nonlinear (asymmetric) GARCH follows the process σ 2 t+1 = + (R t - σ t ) 2 + σ 2 t There is a family of volatility models parameterized by 1, 2, 3 NIF(z t ) = [ z t 1 - θ 2 (z t θ 1 )] 2θ 3 How do you retrieve a standard GARCH? In principle, the game is now to estimate 1, 2, and 3 from the data Yet one simple choice ( 2 = 0, 3 = 1) is rather famous: the Nonlinear (asymmetric) GARCH, or N(A)GARCH σ 2 t+1 = + (R t - σ t ) 2 + σ 2 t = + σ 2 t(z t - ) 2 + σ 2 t NGARCH plays key role in option pricing with stochastic volatility Last topic in syllabus: under some conditions get closed formulas The model is asymmetric when > 0 because while z t 0 impacts conditional variance only in the measure (z t - ) 2 z 2 t, z t < 0 impacts conditional variance in the measure (z t - ) 2 > z 2 t 37
38 Generalizing GARCH Models GARCH models may be easily generalized to include p ARCH lags and q generalized lags of past variance The model is non-linear because even under = 0 it can be rewritten as a GARCH(1,1) in z t with time-varying ARCH coefficient: σ 2 t+1 = + t z 2 t+ σ 2 t = + ( + z 2 t)σ 2 t where t σ 2 t Models in which the coefficients are not constant, but are a function of time (or variables that change over time) are non-linear models The NGARCH persistence is given by (1 + 2 ) + With some algebra (see lecture notes) you can show that the unconditional variance is /(1 (1+ 2 ) ) We have focused on simple GARCH(1,1) models as they are easy to interpret and they usually work (in particular, the NGARCH did) In some applications (although rare), generalized (p, q) GARCH models appear: 38
39 Generalizing GARCH Models: Component GARCH In a component GARCH models there are two different layers: short-run variance is time-varying and follows a GARCH; longrun variance is time-varying and follows a GARCH Very few data sets seem to require them and in any event I never saw a model bigger than a GARCH(2,2) The real problem is estimation, as many constraints have to be imposed to ensure that variance is positive Conditions for stationarity are also rather complex Models that distinguish between the dynamics in short- vs. longterm variance, also called Component GARCH models The intuition is simple: in a stationary GARCH(1,1) model, shortterm variance is time-varying, but long-run variance is a constant, σ 2 = ω/(1 - α - β) In a component GARCH model: (i) short-run variance is timevarying and follows a GARCH(1,1); (ii) also long-run variance is time-varying and follows a GARCH(1,1) 39
40 Generalizing GARCH Models: Component GARCH A component GARCH(1,1) model can always be re-written as restricted, plain vanilla GARCH(2,2) models Here σ 2 t is (as usual) short-run variance; v t is long-run variance Good model because it captures the slow decay of auto-correlations in squared returns that we found in lecture 1 Your lecture notes show that a component GARCH can be re-written as restricted GARCH(2,2) models The slow decay of the autocorrelation function in the case of daily S&P 500 stock returns Short-run GARCH(1,1) Long-run GARCH(1,1) Long-run GARCH(1,1) 40
41 Variance Model Evaluation Normality of standardized residuals derived from a volatility model may be assessed from JB statistic which is based on deviations of sample skewness and kurtosis from 0 and 3 Let s now move where the money is (or not): how can you tell whether a (univariate) volatility model works in practice? A number of techniques called diagnostic checks exist: here we just discuss 3 among the many possible methods 1 (Normality tests) If you have estimated by MLE and exploited the assumption that, then the standardized model residuals defined as z t = R t /σ t should have a normal distribution Use a Jarque and Bera test: JB proposed a test that measures departure from normality in terms of the skewness and kurtosis Under the null hypothesis of normally distributed errors, the JB statistic has a known asymptotic distribution: Zero under N(0,1) Zero under N(0,1) 41
42 Variance Model Evaluation If the volatility model is correctly specified, then standardized squared residuals should be uncorrelated Large values of this statistic indicate departures from normality; see also next lecture 2 (Squared Autocorrelation Tests) Even though normality has not been assumed (QMLE), a good model implies that the squared standardized residuals, z 2 t = R 2 t/σ 2 t, should display no systematic autocorrelation patterns Whether this has been achieved can be assessed in standard autocorrelation plots that you have seen before Standard errors are calculated simply as 1/(T 1/2 ), where T is the number of observations in the sample So-called Bartlett standard error bands give the range in which the autocorrelations would fall roughly 95% of the time if the true but unknown autocorrelations were all zero In the example, there is little or no serial correlation in the levels of z t, but there is some serial correlation left in the squares, at low orders 42
43 Variance Model Evaluation If the volatility model is correctly specified, then standardized squared residuals should be uncorrelated Probably this means that one should build a different/better volatility model Levels Squares 3 (Variance Regressions) The idea is simply to regress squared returns computed over a forecast period on the forecast from the variance model: 43
44 Variance Model Evaluation If the volatility model is correctly specified, in a variance regression model, b 0 = 0 and b 1 = 1 A good variance forecast model should be unbiased, that is, have an intercept b 0 = 0, and be efficient, that is have a slope, b 1 = 1 Problem: In this regression, the squared returns is used as a proxy for the true but unobserved variance in period t+1; how good of a proxy is the squared return? On the one hand, in principle we are fine because and from our model R t+1 = σ t+1 z t+1 On the other hand, the variance of such a proxy may be poor: Because tends much higher than 3 in reality, the variance of the square proxy for realized variance is often very poor (i.e., imprecisely estimated) Kurtosis coefficient 44
45 Variance Model Evaluation If the volatility model is correctly specified, in a variance regression model, b 0 = 0 and b 1 = 1 Due to the high degree of noise in the squared returns, the fit of the preceding regression as measured by the regression R 2 will be very low, typically around 5 to 10%, even if the variance model used to forecast is indeed the correct one Thus obtaining a low R 2 in such regressions should not lead one to reject the variance model However it remains true that the null hypothesis of b 0 = 0 and b 1 = 1 should not be rejected, if the volatility model is any good Stay tuned, in lecture 7 we will examine alternative and much better measures of realized variance 45
