RENORMING VOLATILITIES IN A FAMILY OF GARCH MODELS
研究了GARCH(1,1)模型族中波动率在重新归一化后的弱收敛性,发现极限分布取决于顶部李雅普诺夫指数γ的符号,对理解GARCH型模型的波动率随机结构有重要理论意义。
This paper studies the weak convergence of renorming volatilities in a family of GARCH(1,1) models from a functional point of view. After suitable renormalization, it is shown that the limiting distribution is a geometric Brownian motion when the associated top Lyapunov exponent γ > 0 and is an exponential functional of the maximum process of a Brownian motion when γ = 0. This indicates that the volatility of the GARCH(1,1)-type model has a completely different random structure according to the sign of γ . The obtained results further strengthen our understanding of volatilities in GARCH-type models. Simulation studies are carried out to assess our findings.
