Modelling Volatility Cycles: The MF2‐GARCH Model
波动率周期建模:MF2-GARCH 模型
ABSTRACT We propose a novel multiplicative factor multi‐frequency GARCH (MF2‐GARCH) model, which exploits the empirical fact that the daily standardized forecast errors of one‐component GARCH models are predictable by a moving average of past standardized forecast errors. In contrast to other multiplicative component GARCH models, the MF2‐GARCH features stationary returns, and long‐term volatility forecasts are mean‐reverting. When applied to the S&P 500, the new component…
