Alber-Ludwigs Universiy Freiburg Deparmen of Economics Time Series Analysis, Summer 29 Dr. Sevap Kesel Non-Saionary Processes: Par IV ARCH(m) (Auoregressive Condiional Heeroskedasiciy) Models Saionary and nonsaionary processes presened ill now are assumed o have consan variance (homoskedasiciy)-uncondiional variance. However, some series exhibi periods of unusually large volailiy resuling in non-consan variance. The volailiy in he series is modeled by aking ino accoun he condiional variance. Consider he reurn or relaive gain of a sock a ime is Y Y 1 = where Y is he price of he sock a ime. Y 1 Y = (1 + ) Y 1 Taking he logarihm of boh sides and firs difference ln( Y ) = ln(1 + ) + ln( Y 1) lny = ln( Y ) ln( Y ) = ln(1 + ) + ln( Y ) ln( Y ) [ ] 1 1 1 lny = ln(1 + ) If he percen change,, says relaively small in magniude, hen ln(1 + ) p and lny p. Therefore, he highly volaile periods end o be clusered ogeher. ARCH(1) = σ Z and Le 2 2 σ = α + α1 1 where Z Gaussian WN(,1) The condiional disribuion of Represenaion of ARCH(1) as AR(1) = σ Z ( α + α = σ ) 2 2 1 1 given 1 is N(, α + α ) 2 1 1-1 2 2 = α + α1 1 + υ, where υ = σ ( Z 1) and Z Chi square(1) The Properies of ARCH process are: Le he series conain = {, 1,... } 1.

Conribuion of descripive saisics on Model deerminaion: The skewness and he kurosis of a disribuion are, respecively. If he disribuion is normal, K(y)=3, S(y)=. Thereofre, for any disribuion, K(y) 3 is called he excess kurosis. Under normaliy assumpion, and are disribued asympoically as normal wih zero mean and variances 6/T and 24/T, respecively. Financial daa ofen exhibi lepokurosis, i.e. a kurosis higher han 3 or an excess kurosis higher han. We consider such reurn paern especially for high frequency daa, for example daily daa. For monhly, quarerly or yearly aggregaed daa he disribuion urns more owards a normal disribuion.

However, he squared reurns are correlaed. Here, he Coefficien for AR and MA erms are no significan. Therefore, we regress differenced daa on consan and he variance.
