Hybrid Model for Stock Market Volatility

Empirical evidence suggests that the traditional GARCH-type models are unable to accurately estimate the volatility of financial markets. To improve on the accuracy of the traditional GARCH-type models, a hybrid model (BSGARCH (1, 1)) that combines the flexibility of B-splines with the GARCH (1, 1)...

Description
Summary:Empirical evidence suggests that the traditional GARCH-type models are unable to accurately estimate the volatility of financial markets. To improve on the accuracy of the traditional GARCH-type models, a hybrid model (BSGARCH (1, 1)) that combines the flexibility of B-splines with the GARCH (1, 1) model has been proposed in the study. The lagged residuals from the GARCH (1, 1) model are fitted with a B-spline estimator and added to the results produced from the GARCH (1, 1) model. The proposed BSGARCH (1, 1) model was applied to simulated data and two real financial time series data (NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500). The outcome was then compared to the outcomes of the GARCH (1, 1), EGARCH (1, 1), GJR-GARCH (1, 1), and APARCH (1, 1) with different error distributions (ED) using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the root mean square error (RMSE), Theil’s inequality coefficient (TIC) and QLIKE. It was concluded that the proposed BSGARCH (1, 1) model outperforms the traditional GARCH-type models that were considered in the study based on the performance metrics, and thus, it can be used for estimating volatility of stock markets.
