Robust modelling of ARCH models
Authors:Jiancheng Jiang  Quanshui Zhao  Yer Van Hui
Abstract:The autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (ARCH) model and its extensions have been widely used in modelling changing variances in financial time series. Since the asset return distributions frequently display tails heavier than normal distributions, it is worth while studying robust ARCH modelling without a specific distribution assumption. In this paper, rather than modelling the conditional variance, we study ARCH modelling for the conditional scale. We examine the L1‐estimation of ARCH models and derive the limiting distributions of the estimators. A robust standardized absolute residual autocorrelation based on least absolute deviation estimation is proposed. Then a robust portmanteau statistic is constructed to test the adequacy of the model, especially the specification of the conditional scale. We obtain their asymptotic distributions under mild conditions. Examples show that the suggested L1‐norm estimators and the goodness‐of‐fit test are robust against error distributions and are accurate for moderate sample sizes. This paper provides a useful tool in modelling conditional heteroscedastic time series data. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
