Forecasting volatility
At first sight, forecasting the volatility in the error terms may not
seem very useful.
However, keep in mind that
var (yt |yt−1, yt−2, …) = var (µt |µt−1, µt−2, …)
Therefore, these models are very useful as they can add a model
for the volatility of a time series to traditional ARMA models.
I forecasting the volatility of stock returns is useful e.g. in
option pricing as this requires the expected volatility of the
underlying asset over de lifetime of the option as an input

Forecasting volatility
Consider the following GARCH(1,1) model
yt = µ+ µt µt ∼ N
σ2t = α0 + α1µ
Generate one-, two- and three-step-ahead forecasts for the
conditional variance of yt at time T .
I First update the equations for the conditional variance:
σ2T+1 = α0 + α1µ
σ2T+2 = α0 + α1µ
σ2T+3 = α0 + α1µ

Example: forecasting mean and variance from an
AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) for returns on the S&P500 index in a hold-out
sample of 100 observations.
EViews: in the Equation Window select Forecast
Note that volatility is highly persistent!
I forecasted volatility converges only slowly to the unconditional
mean, which is equal to
0.000000792
1− 0.068012− 0.923437 = 0.000093

Value at Risk VaR
©Copyright University of Wales 2020. All rights reserved. This copyright notice must not be removed from this material
Risk managers/regulators are often interested in the following statement:
”I am 99% certain that my portfolio of assets will not lose more than $V over the
next period and have sufficient reserves to cover losses lower than this level. ”
period is often one day, but can be a month, quarter, year
(1− α)100% VaR : VaR1−α = F−1(α)× Value of Investment
VaR is the maximum portfolio loss in a given period (eg, 1 day) with a given
probability (eg, 0.99).

• Consider AR(1)−GARCH(1, 1) for the portfolio return yt
yt = c+ φ1yt−1 + µt, where µt|Ωt−1 ∼ N(0, σ2t )
σ2t = α0 + α1µ
� νt = µtσt =
∼ N(0, 1), where yt|t−1 = E(yt|Ωt−1)
� P (νt < −2.326) = 0.01 = 1− 0.99 implies:
P (yt < yt|t−1 − 2.326σt) = 0.01
� VaR0.99 = 1100 (yt|t−1 − 2.326σt)× Portfolio Value

Topic 5. Modelling Return Volatility: GARCH
– Conditional value at risk (VaR)
eg. NYSE composite return (continued)
Portfolio valued at $1m at T = 2002-08-29.
AR(1)-GARCH(1,1): 𝜎𝜎𝑇𝑇+1 =1.64196, 𝑦𝑦𝑇𝑇+1|𝑇𝑇 =0.05132.
𝑦𝑦𝑇𝑇+1|𝑇𝑇 − 2.326𝜎𝜎𝑇𝑇+1 ×$1m = −$37,678
If using the sample mean, sample variance and normality,
[.0353 – 2.326(1.0062)] ×$1m = − $23,051.
• But, normality is strongly rejected!

Empirical Quantile
VaR using Empirical Quantile

BUT normality is often rejected?
� GARCH is able to account for clustering, such that the standardised shock
(νt) can be viewed as iid.
� To compute VaR, we only need the lower quantile of νt, which can be
estimated by the empirical quantile of the standardised residuals.
• Instead of using the N(0, 1) to find F−1(α), we need to use the
distrubution of the the estimated standardised residuals νt
• νt = µtσt =
∼ iid(0, 1)
• P (νt < Q0.01) = 0.01 = 1− 0.99 implies
P (yt < yt|t−1 −Q0.01σt) = 0.01 = 1− 0.99

A measure of persistence: half-life time
©Copyright University of Wales 2020. All rights reserved. This copyright notice must not be removed from this material
• Let ωt = µ2t − σ2t , then µ2t has an ARMA(1,1)
representation:µ2t = α0 + (α1 + β1)µ
t−1 + ωt − β1ωt−1
• When the shocks are zero, ie, ω = 0 for all t, by substitution:
1 + · · ·+ (α1 + β1)t−1
+ (α1 + β1)
The impact of µ20 on µ
t is (α1 + β1)
t, ceteris paribus.
I Half-life time, tH , is defined as the number of periods required for the
impact to be halved
0, or tH =
ln(α1 + β1)
eg. Composite return: α1 + β1 = 0.996, tH = 172.9 (days).

Integrated GARCH: iGARCH
©Copyright University of Wales 2020. All rights reserved. This copyright notice must not be removed from this material
I What happens if α1 + β1 = 1? (known as iGARCH)
I When α0 > 0, the unconditional variance is NOT finite and grows with t:
E(σ2t ) = α0t+ E(σ
True because E(σ2t ) = α0 + (α1 + β1)E(σ
t−1) = α0 + E(σ
We may write α0 = (1− α1 − β1)ω, where ω is the unconditional variance
of µt for α1 + β1 = 1.
I When α1 + β1 = 1 and α0 = 0, the conditional variance is an EWMA of
t = (1− β1)µ
which, as an EWMA, is not mean-reverting.
eg. NYSE composite return: The above explains why GARCH is very slow to
revert to the average level

Forecasting Volatility in GARCH Volatility and Risk Half Time IGARCH
• Forecasting with the GARCH follows similar recurssive structure as an
autoregressive model.
• The long run forcast of volatility converges to the unconditional variance
of the process.
• Application to VaR: measures the risk exposure and the maximum amount
of loss in dollar value forecast for the next period:
• The VaR involves the mean, and variance of the distribution of
returns/payoffs of investment,
• GARCH/ARCH models allow us to compute Conditional VaR,
• The unconditional mean and variance underestimates the VaR: conditional
VaR bigger in absolute value than Unconditional VaR (based on the mean
and sample variance)
• The normal distribution quantile leads to underestimating the VaR
compared to using the empirical quantile.
• The Half-life time measures the amount of persistence in the GARCH.
