GARCH and ARCH - Summary<br />

● ARCH – Autoregressive conditional<br />

heteroscedasticity: variance depends on past<br />

variance<br />

● GARCH – generalized autoreg. cond. het.: variance<br />

is a weighted average of long-run variance (ω), the<br />

last period forecasted var. for this period (σ) and<br />

variance implied by most recent square residual (ε).<br />

● Formally:<br />

● ARCH(q): σ 2 = E(u t ) 2 = ω + α 1 (ε t - 1 ) 2 + …+ α q (ε t - q ) 2<br />

● GARCH(p,q):<br />

σ 2 = ω+α 1 (ε t - 1 ) 2 +…+α q (ε t - q ) 2 + β 1 σ 2<br />

t – 1 + … + β p σ2<br />

t - p.
