MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD
The likelihood principle says “pick the parameters that make the sample more likely to have occurred”.
Assume the sample is a draw from T normal random variables. Write

Maximum likelihood in a time-series context
Consider a sample of observations xt t = 1,…,T. Assume dependence in the ob- servations. In other words, p(xt+1, xt) ̸= p(xt+1)p(xt). In general, p(xt+1, xt) = p(xt+1 |xt )p(xt ).

Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance
L({x} , θ) = p(xT |xT −1, xT −2, …, θ)p(xT −1|xT −2, xT −3, …, θ)…p(x1, θ). The log-likelihood becomes
l({x} , θ) = log L({x} , θ) = 􏰍 log p(xt|xt−1, …, θ).
The maximum likelihood (ML) estimator

θT = arg max [QT (θ)] = arg max θθ
The term ∂ log p(xt|xt−1,…,θ0) (the derivative of the log transition density with respect ∂θ
log p(xt|xt−1, …, θ)
to θ0) is usually called “the score”. Some properties:
p(xt|xt−1, …, θ0)dxt = 1 ⇒
∂p(xt|xt−1, …, θ0)
∂θ dxt = 0
∂ log p(xt|xt−1, …, θ0)p(xt|xt−1, …, θ0)dxt = 0, ∂θ

• The score is unforecastable. Its conditional (and unconditional) expectation are equal to zero (at the parameter value).
2.3 Consistency and asymptotic normality of the ML estimator
• We assume dependence in the data from the start.
• By Taylor’s expansion, stopped at the first order, around θ0:

• Now, notice that ∂QT (θT ) ≈ 0 since we are minimizing the criterion with respect to ∂θ
θ to find θT .
• We begin with consistency. Write
􏰬∂2QT(θ0)􏰭−1 ∂QT(θ0) θT − θ0 = − ⊤ .
We will show that the first term, i.e., ∂2QT (θ0) converges in probability as the number ∂θ∂θ⊤
of observations grows without bound. As for the second term, by the WLLN, we have

However, because of the properties of the score E 􏰑

(why? because the autocorrelation terms are zero – the score is not forecastable). • Now, we need to consider the additional term (b), namely ∂2QT (θ0). Write
∂θ∂θ⊤ ∂2QT(θ0) = 1 􏰍T ∂2 logp(xt|xt−1,…,θ0).
• This term converges to B0 = E

• Notice that the precision of our estimates depends on the curvature of the likelihood function at the true parameter value.
• The ML estimator is asymptotically efficient (no other estimator can have a smaller asymptotic variance).
• The asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator is typically called “Information matrix”.

This is nothing but a sample counterpart to
􏰬∂ log p(xt|xt−1, …, θ0)􏰭
E ∂θ =0, i.e., the expectation of the score is equal to zero!
In light of the last two bullet points, we could have derived all of the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator by using the (more general) GMM formulae.
Testing asset pricing models (when the factors are returns)
Consider a one-factor model, for notational simplicity (the CAPM, for example). Write

Now, we need conditions on the error terms. Write

Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) – Engle (1982)
Consider a time series of generic returns {rt}Tt=1 . Model the conditional mean. For example, write
rt = μ + φrt−1 + εt, but other predictors could be used too, of course.
We know that the unconditional mean and variance are: E(rt) = σε2 .
μ and V ar(rt) = 1−φ
The conditional mean Et−1(rt) = μ + φrt−1 is time-varying, whereas the uncondi-
tional mean is not.
We wish to make the conditional variance time-varying too! Notice that V art−1(rt) = Et−1[rt − Et−1(rt)]2 = Et−1[ε2t ]. Hence, the key is time-variation in the squared residuals. Assume, for example, that
ε 2t = μ ∗ + φ ∗ ε 2t − 1 + π t , where πt is another white noise process with E(πt2) = σπ2 .
In other words, just like rt, ε2t follows an autoregressive process. We have:
Et−1[ε2t ] = μ∗ + φ∗ε2t−1. 14

Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance
• This model is called “Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity of order 1” or ARCH(1).
• We can of course generalize the ARCH(1) model and write: ε2t = μ∗ + φ∗1ε2t−1 + … + φ∗pε2t−p + πt.
• This is an ARCH model of order p: ARCH(p). Some conditions:
• Note that the variances cannot go negative.
• In the ARCH(1) case, we might wish to require the following:
2. πt to be bounded from below by −μ∗ 3. |φ∗| < 1 for stationarity An alternative expression of the model. • The previous derivations are very intuitive. There is a (possibly) less intuitive, but more commonplace, way to write the same thing. εt = 􏰙htut, where ut is white noise with standard deviation equal to 1. • Suppose that h t = μ ∗ + φ ∗ ε 2t − 1 . Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance • What about V art−1(rt) = Et−1[rt − Et−1(rt)]2? This is simply Et−1[ε2t] = = = = as before. • Again, we can generalize and write Et−1[htu2t ] Et−1[(μ∗ + φ∗ε2t−1)u2t ]. μ ∗ + φ ∗ ε 2t − 1 ht = μ∗ + φ∗1ε2t−1 + ... + φ∗pε2t−p. • This is, once more, an ARCH model of order p: ARCH(p). • This model is useful to capture persistence (and variance is persistent). However, it is not very parsimonious. There are too many parameters to estimate. The GARCH model provides a solution to this issue. • In sum: ARCH(1): εt = 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 ht = μ∗+φ∗ε2t−1. Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance εt = 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 ht = μ∗ + φ∗1ε2t−1 + ... + φ∗pε2t−p. Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedas- ticity (GARCH) - Bollerslev (1986) εt = 􏰙htut, Et−1[ε2t ] δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1. 􏱦 􏱥􏱤 􏱧 Extra piece Et−1[htu2t ] μ∗ + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1 • Intuition: conditional variance is a weighted average of two components, i.e., past conditional variance (ht−1 depends on past information) and current innovations (i.e., current squared residuals). It is as if the previous expectation (ht−1) were updated using the current squared residuals (ε2t−1). Empirically, the weights δ∗ and φ∗ are generally positive. Empirically, their sum is usually close to one. Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance • Why does the GARCH model capture persistence without requiring too many pa- rameters? Write: ht = μ∗+δ∗ht−1+φ∗ε2t−1 ⇒ ht = μ∗ + δ∗(μ∗ + δ∗ht−2 + φ∗ε2t−2) + φ∗ε2t−1 = μ∗ + δ∗μ∗ + (δ∗)2ht−2 + δ∗φ∗ε2t−2 + φ∗ε2t−1. We could, of course, plug in ht−2, then ht−3, and keep on going. What we would obtain is an expression for ht as an ARCH(∞) model with restrictions on the param- eters. In other words, the parameters associated with the terms ε2t−1,ε2t−2,...,ε2t−.. would just be functions of δ∗ and φ∗. Namely, they would be φ∗, δ∗φ∗, (δ∗)2φ∗, and so on. • The model we presented is called GARCH(1,1). GARCH(1,1): εt = 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 ht = μ∗ + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1. • As always, this model can be generalized. We could write: ht = μ∗ + δ1∗ht−1 + ... + δp∗ht−p + φ∗1ε2t−1 + ... + φ∗qε2t−q. • This is a GARCH(p,q) model. Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance GARCH(p,q): εt = 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 ht = μ∗ + δ1∗ht−1 + ... + δp∗ht−p + φ∗1ε2t−1 + ... + φ∗qε2t−q. • For most practical purposes in finance, a simple GARCH(1,1) model does extremely well!

The coefficient associated with past conditional variance (i.e., δ∗) is particularly large, thereby demonstrating that conditional variance is highly persistent. Statistical significance is strong.

The improvement in terms of fit is marginal. The estimated coefficient δ∗ is effectively unaltered and the estimated coefficients associated with the first and the second lagged squared residuals cancel each other out to deliver an overall estimate very similar to φ∗ from the previous regression. 7.1 Long-run variance Consider a GARCH(1,1). Write εt = 􏰙htut, 21 Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance where ht = μ∗ + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1. Hence, the unconditional variance of the returns can be written as: E(ε2t ) = E(ht) = μ∗ + δ∗E(ht−1) + φ∗E(ε2t−1) ⇒ E(ht) = μ∗ + (δ∗ + φ∗)E(ht) E(ht) = 1−(δ∗ +φ∗) = σ2 1. Conditional variance (from a GARCH(1,1) model) is time-varying around 2. We could write μ∗ . 1−(δ∗+φ∗) ht =σ2(1−δ∗ −φ∗)+δ∗ht−1 +φ∗ε2t−1 Thus, conditional variance is really an average of three objects: (1) long-run variance, (2) squared return innovations, and (3) past conditional variance. GARCH(1,1): a more explicit representation. 3. Note that is equivalent to 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 σ2(1 − δ∗ − φ∗) + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1. ht = μ∗ + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1 Chapter 2 Nonlinear econometrics for finance ε2t + ht = μ∗ + δ∗ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1 + ε2t + δ∗ε2t−1 − δ∗ε2t−1 ε2t =μ∗ +(φ∗ +δ∗)ε2t−1 +(ε2t −ht)−δ∗(ε2t−1 −ht−1) which is an ARMA(1,1) structure for the squared returns. The squared returns mean- revert to μ∗ (like h ) and have an autoregressive parameter equal to φ∗ + δ∗ < 1. 1−(δ∗+φ∗) t Alternative specifications The case δ∗ +φ∗ = 1 is a subcase of the GARCH(1,1) model. It is called IGARCH (or integrated GARCH). In this case, conditional volatility is highly persistent and evolves (almost) like a random walk. εt = 􏰙htut, with Et−1(ut) = 0 and Et−1(u2t ) = 1 ht = (1 − φ∗)ht−1 + φ∗ε2t−1. Back to an IGARCH model for the S&P 500 index Let us impose the restriction δ∗ + φ∗ = 1 (and set μ∗ equal to zero).
