News Impact Curves(NIC) developed by Engle and Ng (1993) have been useful for graphically representing the volatilities arising from financial time series. Adding an improvement and refinement to the original NIC, this article proposes so called two dimensional NIC and principal component NIC. We illustrate the methodology via Kosdaq data.

The news impact curve(NIC) originally proposed by Engle and Ng (1993) is a graphical representation of volatility for financial time series. The NIC is a simple but a powerful tool for identifying variability of a given time series. It is noted that the NIC is suited to symmetric volatility. Recently a lot of attention has been paid to asymmetric volatility models and therefore asymmetric version of the NIC would be useful in the field of financial time series. In this article, we propose to incorporate LASSO in constructing asymmetric NICs based on asymmetric GARCH models. In particular, bilinear GARCH models are considered and illustrated via KOSDAQ data.
