Abstract:
|
By combining the multivariate skew-Student density with a time-varying correlation GARCH (TVC-GARCH) model, this paper investigates the spread of crashes in the regional stock markets in both bilateral and global environments. This empirical framework provides a more accurate specification for empirical return distributions and helps us to detect the dynamic properties of crashes between regions. By computing the conditional 1-day crash probabilities and evaluating the forecast performance of the TVC-GARCH model with different densities, it is concluded that the multivariate skew-Student density can explain substantial dependence in the occurrence of crashes regions and predict global crashes with better predictive accuracy only depending on the past information set. This empirical framework also gives insight into the further research about contagion and can be used to improve the early-warning systems.
