• Motivation for modeling return volatility
• Measures of return volatility
• Conditional volatility via smoothing
• Conditional variance is a function of info set;
• It captures “clustering” in return series;
• It explains non-normality of return, to some extent;
• It can be used to improve interval forecasts and VaR (Value at Risk);
• Estimation and testing.

I Importance of return volatility
Asset pricing, risk management and portfolio selection
Substantial dependence structure in volatility
I Clustering:
– strong autocorrelations in squared returns,
– large variations tend to be followed by large variations
I Asymmetry:
– negative returns tend to cause more volatility than positives
I ARMA are unable to capture these features
Conditional variance is constant in ARMA.
Amend ARMA with a suitable conditional variance: ARCH and GARCH

Implied volatility:
standard deviation derived from options prices
– Option of an asset: the right to buy/sell the asset at a future time
(maturity) at a fixed price (strike).
– Given theprice of an option, maturity, strike and risk-free interest rate, the
std deviation can be recovered from Black-Scholes formula, known as IV.
– IV represents market’s opinions on the return’s std deviation.
Black-Scholes formula:
price of an option =f(stdev, maturity,strike, rf−rate)

Topic 5. Modelling Return Volatility: ARCH
• Conditional Volatility
– Conditional variance of return
• 𝜎𝜎𝑡𝑡+1|𝑡𝑡
2 = Var(𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡+1|Ω𝑡𝑡) ,
where 𝑟𝑟𝑡𝑡+1 = 100ln (𝑃𝑃𝑡𝑡+1/𝑃𝑃𝑡𝑡) is the return and
Ω𝑡𝑡 is the information set at the end of period 𝑡𝑡 .
• It should capture “clustering” or autocorrelations in
squared returns, and facilitate predicting the return
volatility
• Knowing it helps to
– assess the risk of an asset via value-at-risk;
– price options;
– form mean-variance efficient portfolios.

Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)
• The squared returns {r2t , r2t−1, · · · , r21} carry info about the volatility as
E(r2t ) ≡ variance.
• A weighted average of squared returns is an approximation to the
conditional variance. Recent observations should weigh more.
• EWMA: for 0 < λ < 1, t+1|t = (1− λ)(r t−2 + · · · ) - weights decay exponentially; - weights sum up to 1. - RiskMetrics recommend λ = 0.94 Slides-09 UNSW Measures of Volatility Conditional Volatility ARCH Comments on ARCH Model ©Copyright University of Wales 2020.

All rights reserved. This copyright notice must not be removed from this material Extra topics MBF: Modelling volatility Models allowing for non-constant volatility ARCH models ARCH models Autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) models are a class of models where the conditional variance evolves according to an autoregressive process. First define the conditional variance of the error term ut to be σ2t = var (µt |µt−1, µt−2, ...) = E (µt − E (µt))2 |µt−1, µt−2, ... As it is usually assumed that E (µt) = 0 σ2t = var (µt |µt−1, µt−2, ...) = E µ2t |µt−1, µt−2, ... The ARCH(1) model assumes σ2t = Et−1 = α0 + α1µ The conditional variance captures ’clustering’: large past shock leads to large conditional variance.

This copyright notice must not be removed from this material Advantages of ARCH • It is able to capture ’clustering’ in return series or the autocorrelation in squared • It facilitates volatility forecasting. • It explains, partially, non-normality in return series. Limitations of ARCH I In ARCH(q), the q may be selected by AIC, SIC or LR test. The correct value of q might be very large. The model might not be parsimonious. (eg. ARCH(1) would not work for the composite return) I The conditional variance σ2t cannot be negative: Requires non-negativity constraints on the coefficients.
