초록

일반화적률추정법(GMM)은 금융자료에 대한 모형모수의 추정에 자주 이용되는 방법이다. 특히 GMM은 현대금융 공학 이론의 기본을 이루는 확산모형의 추정에도 매우 자주 사용된다. 그러나 최근의 연구에서 GMM은 확산모형의 모수, 특히 확산계수에 관계되는 모수의 추정에 있어서 그 성능이 좋지 못함이 지적되었다. 본 연구에서는 GMM의 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위한 대안적 방법들을 제시하고 그 통계적 성능을 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해서 비교하게 된다. 이런 과정을 통하여 제안되고 검토된 추정방법들 중, Shoji와 Ozaki (1998)가 제안한 국소선형근사법의 결과를 적용하여 GMM의 성능을 개선한 NGMM-Y 추정량이 매우 우수한 성질을 가지고 있음을 확인하게 된다. 특히 NGMM-Y 추정량은 확산계수에 관계된 모수의 추정에 있어서 비교대상이 된 다른 대안적 GMM 방법들에 비하여 우수한 성질을 가지고 있음을 확인하게 된다.

Generalized Method of Moment(GMM) is a popular estimation method to estimate model parameters in empirical financial studies. GMM is frequently applied to estimate diffusion models that are basic techniques of modern financial engineering. However, recent research showed that GMM had poor properties to estimate the parameters that pertain to the diffusion coefficient in diffusion models. This research corrects the weakness of GMM and suggests alternatives to improve the statistical properties of GMM estimators. In this study, a simulation method is adopted to compare estimation methods. Out of compared alternatives, NGMM-Y, a version of improved GMM that adopts the NLL idea of Shoji and Ozaki (1998), showed the best properties. Especially NGMM-Y estimator is superior to other versions of GMM estimators for the estimation of diffusion coefficient parameters.
