Brent原油期货市场波动结构突变点预测

针对Brent原油期货市场可能存在结构突变点（结构断点）,引入了隐马尔科夫模型(Hidden Markov Models,HMM)对其进行波动状态预测,但是由于HMM模型测度下的波动状态中可能存在伪结构突变点,再使用迭代累积平方和(Iterated Cumulative Sums of Squares,ICSS)模型对Brent原油期货市场波动结构突变点进行诊断,并修正其波动状态,为了检验ICSS-HMM-EGARCH模型对Brent原油期货市场结构突变点预测的准确性,基于修正后的波动状态再次使用HMM-EGARCH模型对Brent原油期货市场进行波动率预测。最后,采用成功率(Success Rate,SR) 和基于平均误差函数(Root Mean Squared Errors,RMSE)的Diebold-Mariano(D-M)模型分别对预测波动状态和预测波动率的准确性进行检验。实证结果表明：Brent原油期货市场中存在波动结构突变点;HMM模型测度下的波动状态中存在伪结构突变点,而ICSS-HMM-EGARCH模型能够修正波动状态中的伪结构突变点;基于修正后的波动状态后HMM-EGARCH模型能够对Brent原油期货市场进行更加准确地波动率预测,因而ICSS-HMM-EGARCH模型能够准确地预测Brent原油期货市场波动结构突变点。

Forecasting the Daily Time‐Varying Beta of European Banks During the Crisis Period: Comparison Between GARCH Models and the Kalman Filter

This intention of this paper is to empirically forecast the daily betas of a few European banks by means of four generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models and the Kalman filter method during the pre‐global financial crisis period and the crisis period. The four GARCH models employed are BEKK GARCH, DCC GARCH, DCC‐MIDAS GARCH and Gaussian‐copula GARCH. The data consist of daily stock prices from 2001 to 2013 from two large banks each from Austria, Belgium, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. We apply the rolling forecasting method and the model confidence sets (MCS) to compare the daily forecasting ability of the five models during one month of the pre‐crisis (January 2007) and the crisis (January 2013) periods. Based on the MCS results, the BEKK proves the best model in the January 2007 period, and the Kalman filter overly outperforms the other models during the January 2013 period. Results have implications regarding the choice of model during different periods by practitioners and academics. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Comparison of the Forecasting Ability of Immediate Price Impact Models

As a consequence of recent technological advances and the proliferation of algorithmic and high‐frequency trading, the cost of trading in financial markets has irrevocably changed. One important change, known as price impact, relates to how trading affects prices. Price impact represents the largest cost associated with trading. Forecasting price impact is very important as it can provide estimates of trading profits after costs and also suggest optimal execution strategies. Although several models have recently been developed which may forecast the immediate price impact of individual trades, limited work has been done to compare their relative performance. We provide a comprehensive performance evaluation of these models and test for statistically significant outperformance amongst candidate models using out‐of‐sample forecasts. We find that normalizing price impact by its average value significantly enhances the performance of traditional non‐normalized models as the normalization factor captures some of the dynamics of price impact.

On the Modelling and Forecasting of Multivariate Realized Volatility: Generalized Heterogeneous Autoregressive (GHAR) Model

Recent multivariate extensions of the popular heterogeneous autoregressive model (HAR) for realized volatility leave substantial information unmodelled in residuals. We propose to employ a system of seemingly unrelated regressions to model and forecast a realized covariance matrix to capture this information. We find that the newly proposed generalized heterogeneous autoregressive (GHAR) model outperforms competing approaches in terms of economic gains, providing better mean–variance trade‐off, while, in terms of statistical precision, GHAR is not substantially dominated by any other model. Our results provide a comprehensive comparison of the performance when realized covariance, subsampled realized covariance and multivariate realized kernel estimators are used. We study the contribution of the estimators across different sampling frequencies, and show that the multivariate realized kernel and subsampled realized covariance estimators deliver further gains compared to realized covariance estimated on a 5‐minute frequency. In order to show economic and statistical gains, a portfolio of various sizes is used. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal sampling frequency for volatility forecast models for the Indian stock markets

This paper evaluates the performance of conditional variance models using high‐frequency data of the National Stock Index (S&P CNX NIFTY) and attempts to determine the optimal sampling frequency for the best daily volatility forecast. A linear combination of the realized volatilities calculated at two different frequencies is used as benchmark to evaluate the volatility forecasting ability of the conditional variance models (GARCH (1, 1)) at different sampling frequencies. From the analysis, it is found that sampling at 30 minutes gives the best forecast for daily volatility. The forecasting ability of these models is deteriorated, however, by the non‐normal property of mean adjusted returns, which is an assumption in conditional variance models. Nevertheless, the optimum frequency remained the same even in the case of different models (EGARCH and PARCH) and different error distribution (generalized error distribution, GED) where the error is reduced to a certain extent by incorporating the asymmetric effect on volatility. Our analysis also suggests that GARCH models with GED innovations or EGRACH and PARCH models would give better estimates of volatility with lower forecast error estimates.

基于跳跃滤波和时变参数估计的中国股市微观结构研究

为了更为有效地探究微观市场结构对股票价格的影响,本文在状态空间模型框架下,同时将交易方向、带方向的交易量、交易间隔、微观噪声以及跳跃因素引入状态方程和观测方程中,建立全面的市场微观结构模型,以反映各变量对交易价格序列产生的暂时性和永久性影响.然后,在采用基于粒子滤波的非参数离群点检测方法检测跳跃并对跳跃进行滤波的基础上,运用贝叶斯最小二乘方法对微观结构模型系数、波动率以及状态变量进行实时更新和估计,在此基础上分析跳跃日度分布、日内分布、个股跳跃和共同跳跃特征,并同时判断不同交易方向、交易量的订单对价格产生的影响.最后选取2015年股灾期间、沪市股票的逐笔数据作为研究样本进行实证研究.实证结果显示:我国股票高频时间序列跳跃和共同跳跃均存在日内季节性,且跳跃频率和大小与市场信息密切相关;买卖订单对交易价格及股票价值的影响并不是完全对称的,交易价格对于微观结构的敏感度、微观结构噪声也随市场波动而发生变化,熊市中都相对更高;考虑跳跃滤波并对参数进行实时估计可以提高价格对于交易的敏感度,能更好地捕捉市场微观结构在价格发现中的作用.
