We estimate three continuous-time stochastic volatility models following the approach by Aït-Sahalia and Kimmel (2007) to compare the Korean and US stock markets. To do this, the Heston, GARCH, and CEV models are applied to the KOSPI 200 and S&P 500 Index. For the latent volatility variable, we generate and use the integrated volatility proxy using the implied volatility of short-dated at-the-money option prices. We conduct MLE in order to estimate the parameters of the stochastic volatility models. To do this we need the transition probability density function (TPDF), but the true TPDF is not available for any of the models in this paper. Therefore, the TPDFs are approximated using the irreducible method introduced in Aït-Sahalia (2008). Among three stochastic volatility models, the Heston model and the CEV model are found to be best for the Korean and US stock markets, respectively. There exist relatively strong leverage effects in both countries. Despite the fact that the long-run mean level of the integrated volatility proxy (IV) was not statistically significant in either market, the speeds of the mean reversion parameters are statistically significant and meaningful in both markets. The IV is found to return to its long-run mean value more rapidly in Korea than in the US. All parameters related to the volatility function of the IV are statistically significant. Although the volatility of the IV is more elastic in the US stock market, the volatility itself is greater in Korea than in the US over the range of the observed IV.

Volatility is a variation measure in finance for returns of a financial instrument over time. GARCH models have been a popular tool to analyze volatility of financial time series data since Bollerslev (1986) and it is said that volatility is highly persistent when the sum of the estimated coefficients of the squared lagged returns and the lagged conditional variance terms in GARCH models is close to 1. Regarding persistence, numerous methods have been proposed to test if such persistency is due to volatility shifts in the market or natural fluctuation explained by stationary long-range dependence (LRD). Recently, Lee et al. (2015) proposed a residual-based cumulative sum (CUSUM) test statistic to test volatility shifts in GARCH models against LRD. We propose a bootstrap-based approach for the residual-based test and compare the sizes and powers of our bootstrap-based CUSUM test with the one in Lee et al. (2015) through simulation studies.

Combining the strength of both Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) Regression and realized variance measures, this paper seeks to investigate two objectives: (1) evaluate the post-sample performance of the proposed weekly Realized Variance-MIDAS (RVar-MIDAS) in one-week ahead volatility forecasting against the established Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model and the less explored but robust STES (Smooth Transition Exponential Smoothing) methods. (2) comparing forecast error performance between realized variance and squared residuals measures as a proxy for actual volatility. Data of seven private equity mutual fund indices (generated from 57 individual funds) from two different time periods (with and without financial crisis) are applied to 21 models. Robustness of the post-sample volatility forecasting of all models is validated by the Model Confidence Set (MCS) Procedures and revealed: (1) The weekly RVar-MIDAS model emerged as the best model, outperformed the robust DAILY-STES methods, and the weekly DAILY-GARCH models, particularly during a volatile period. (2) models with realized variance measured in estimation and as a proxy for actual volatility outperformed those using squared residual. This study contributes an empirical approach to one-week ahead volatility forecasting of mutual funds return, which is less explored in past literature on financial volatility forecasting compared to stocks volatility.

Approximating the implied volatilities and estimating the model parameters are important topics in quantitative finance. This study proposes an approximation formula for short-maturity near-the-money implied volatilities in stochastic volatility models. A general second-order nonlinear PDE for implied volatility is derived in terms of time-to-maturity and log-moneyness from the Feyman-Kac formula. Using regularity conditions and the Taylor expansion, an approximation formula for implied volatility is obtained for short-maturity nearthe-money call options in two stochastic volatility models: Heston model and SABR model. In addition, we proposed a novel numerical method to estimate model parameters. This method reduces the number of model parameters that should be estimated. Generating sample data on log-moneyness, time-to-maturity, and implied volatility, we estimate the model parameters fitting the sample data in the above two models. Our method provides parameter estimates that are close to true values.

The paper aims to measure stock price volatility on Ho Chi Minh stock exchange (HSX). We apply symmetric models (GARCH, GARCH-M) and asymmetry (EGARCH and TGARCH) to measure stock price volatility on HSX. We used time series data including the daily closed price of VN-Index during 1/03/2001-1/03/2019 with 4375 observations. The results show that GARCH (1,1) and EGARCH (1,1) models are the most suitable models to measure both symmetry and asymmetry volatility level of VN-Index. The study also provides evidence for the existence of asymmetric effects (leverage) through the parameters of TGARCH model (1,1), showing that positive shocks have a significant effect on the conditional variance (volatility). This result implies that the volatility of stock returns has a big impact on future market movements under the impact of shocks, while asymmetric volatility increase market risk, thus increase the attractiveness of the stock market. The research results are useful reference information to help investors in forecasting the expected profit rate of the HSX, and also the risks along with market fluctuations in order to take appropriate adjust to the portfolios. From this study's results, we can see risk prediction models such as GARCH can be better used in risk forecasting especially.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine five evaluation models constructed by different normalization and aggregation methods in terms of the volatility of rankings and rank reversals. We also explore how the volatility of rankings of the five models changes and how often the rank reversals occur when the outliers are removed. Methods: We used data published in the Complete University Guide 2014. Two universities with missing values were excluded from the data. The university rankings were derived by using the five models, and then each model's volatility of rankings was measured. The box-plot was used to detect outliers. Results: Model 1 has the lowest volatility among the five models whether or not the outliers are included. Model 5 has the lowest number of rank reversals. Model 3, which has been used by many institutions, appears to be in the middle among the five in terms of the volatility and the rank reversals. Conclusion: The university rankings vary from one evaluation model to another depending on what normalization and aggregation methods are used. No single model exhibits clear superiority over others in both the volatility and the rank reversal. The findings of this study are expected to provide a stepping stone toward a superior model which is both reliable and robust.

본 연구에서는 French, Schwert, & Stambaugh와 Schwert의 연구에 사용된 방법을 이용하여 한국 증권시장에서 주식수익률의 변동성의 특징을 분석하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 모형은 주식시장의 변동성의 시계열 특성에 대한 보다 조직적 분석을 제공한다. 간단히 말하면, 이 모형들은 일별 수익률로부터 자기회귀 및 계절적 영향을 제거함으로써 예기치 못한 수익률을 추정할 수 있게 한다. 그리고 나서 자기회귀 및 계절적 모형에 예기치 못한 수익률의 절대값을 이용하여 주가변동성을 예측하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 총체적 주식수익률의 움직임에 대한 지속성은 미약하고, 자기회귀모형에 비정상성이 있을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 일별 주가변동성의 움직임이 주식수익률의 움직임보다 훨씬 예측가능하다는 것을 발견하였다. 둘째, 변동성의 증가가 미래 기대수익률을 증가시킨다는 증거는 미약하고, 변동성이 시차 주식수익률과 관계가 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, we consider the extension of the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model for realized volatility by incorporating a neural network (NN) structure. Since HAR is a linear model, we expect that adding a neural network term would explain the delicate nonlinearity of the realized volatility. Three neural network-based HAR models, namely HAR-NN, $HAR({\infty})-NN$, and HAR-AR(22)-NN are considered with performance measured by evaluating out-of-sample forecasting errors. The results of the study show that HAR-NN provides a slightly wider interval than traditional HAR as well as shows more peaks and valleys on the turning points. It implies that the HAR-NN model can capture sharper changes due to higher volatility than the traditional HAR model. The HAR-NN model for prediction interval is therefore recommended to account for higher volatility in the stock market. An empirical analysis on the multinational realized volatility of stock indexes shows that the HAR-NN that adds daily, weekly, and monthly volatility averages to the neural network model exhibits the best performance.

본 논문에서는 장기기억 변동성 모형의 필요성을 Value-at-Risk(VaR) 추정의 관점에서 알아본다. 이를 위해, KOSPI 수익률의 VaR을 FIGARCH, FIEGACH와 같은 장기기억 변동성 모형과 GARCH, EGARCH와 같은 단기기억 변동성 모형을 적용하여 각각 추정한 후, 각 변동성 모형에 따른 추정의 적절성을 사후검증을 통하여 비교해 본다. 사후검증을 통해, KOSPI 수익률 과정이 장기기억 속성을 가짐을 확인할 수 있으며, 적절한 VaR의 추정을 위해서는 장기기억 변동성 모형을 적용하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
