a) Describe and interpret the estimation results. What is the
persistency of the GARCH model specified above? Comment on the
persistency.
Background. Adam is a quantitative risk analyst working for Sigma Value Investments. He is building a model of volatility using daily excess returns of the S&P 500 index from 1990 to 2016. Adam has specified the following GARCH-in-mean(1,1) model: Mean equation R¢ = y + Mo + € Variance equation: oft1 = w + aet + Bot where Rt is the excess returns of S&P 500 index, & is the residual term from the mean equation, and of is the GARCH term. He has obtained the following estimation results: Dependent Variable: ER Method: ML ARCH - Normal distribution (BFGS / Marquardt Convergence achieved after 30 iterations Coefficient covariance computed using Bollerslev- sandwich with expected Hessian Presample variance: backcast (parameter = 0.7) GARCH = C(3) + C14)*RESID(-1)^2 + C(5)*GARCH(-1) Variable Coefficient Std.
