Re: HOW TO ESTIMATE A MULTIVARIATE GARCH-M MODEL?

First, declare a coefficient vector that corresponds to non-zero elements of the matrix A and initialize it. In your case, it would be something like the following:

Code: Select all

coef(6) Amat
Amat(1) = .2 'A(2,1)
Amat(2) = .2 'A(2,2)
Amat(3) = .2 'A(2,3)
Amat(4) = .2 'A(3,1)
Amat(5) = .2 'A(3,2)
Amat(6) = .2 'A(3,3)

And then, you should modify the equations or series accordingly. For instance, sqres2 and res1res2 should now be defined as:

Code: Select all

tvgarchm.append sqres2 = (y2-mu(2)-Amat(1)*y1(-1)-Amat(2)*y2(-1)-Amat(3)*y3(-1)-lambda(2)*var_y2)^2
tvgarchm.append res1res2 = (y1-0.5*var_y1)*(y2-mu(2)-Amat(1)*y1(-1)-Amat(2)*y2(-1)-Amat(3)*y3(-1)-lambda(2)*var_y2)

You can modify the code along with these lines...

Thank you. When I make these changes and run the program I get an error message: 'missing values in @logl series'. Any tips?

This is quite a common mistake made by users when modeling logl in EViews, so please search the forum for possible remedies...

Hello. I have been attempting to use the code presented and discussed in this thread to estimate a bivariate garch-in-mean model. I have three major questions.

1. Is there any way to modify the code to make it constant conditional covariance as opposed to BEKK?

2. What exactly is the current program doing? It seems to be estimating two univariate garch-in-mean series and then using those series to generate logl-maximized coefficients in the bivariate model, but this doesn't get around generated regressors, right?

3. How do I actually interpret results? I'm interested in the role of the conditional variance of each equation in both mean equations, i.e., if you have y1=c(1)*garch1+c(2)*garch2+(stuff), y2=c(3)*garch1+c(4)*garch2+(stuff), I want to estimate c(1) through c(4). I understand that lambda(1) is c(1) and lambda(2) is c(4), but the current program seems to restrict the model to two coefficients, with the off-diagonal element of H (the conditional covariance) replacing garch2 in the first equation and garch1 in the second. Correct? If I am interpreting this right, how do I get c(2) and c(3)?

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: HOW TO ESTIMATE A GARCH (1,1) (2,2) (1,2) (2,1) MODELS?

Postby banhong86 » Mon Mar 11, 2013 7:35 pm

Hi,

I'm a beginner for EViews. Currently I have a file named Canada Xchange Rate (as attached below). I am trying to estimate the GARCH (1,1), (2,2), (1,2) and (2,1) models in one script file. My script file is as follows:

'change path to program path
%path = @runpath
cd %path

' load workfile
load canada
' set sample
smpl @all
scalar p=1
scalar q=1
series tt = dlog(value)
freeze tt
arch tt c ar(1)
eq1.makegarch garch1

smpl @all
scalar p=2
scalar q=2
series bt = dlog(value)
freeze bt
arch(2,2) bt c ar(2)
eq1.makegarch garch2

smpl @all
scalar p=1
scalar q=2
series ht = dlog(value)
freeze ht
arch(1,2) ht c ar(2)
eq1.makegarch garch3

smpl @all
scalar p=2
scalar q=1
series kt = dlog(value)
freeze kt
arch(2,1) kt c ar(1)
eq1.makegarch garch4

I would be glad if you could guide me on this. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Hong

Hi Trubador,

I am trying to estimate a BEKK Model where I can analyse volatility spillovers between 4 commodities and 3 stocks, making it a 7x7 matrix. So far, I have got to this point:

smpl @all
series y1 = agriculture
series y2 = crudeoil
series y3 = energy
series y4 = preciousmetal
series y5 = japan
series y6 = uk
series y7 = usa

equation eq1.arch y1 c
equation eq2.arch y2 c
equation eq3.arch y3 c
equation eq4.arch y4 c
equation eq5.arch y5 c
equation eq6.arch y6 c
equation eq7.arch y7 c

eq1.makegarch garch1
eq2.makegarch garch2
eq3.makegarch garch3
eq4.makegarch garch4
eq5.makegarch garch5
eq6.makegarch garch6
eq7.makegarch garch7

coef(7) lambda
lambda(1) = eq1.c(1)
lambda(2) = eq2.c(1)
lambda(3) = eq3.c(1)
lambda(4) = eq4.c(1)
lambda(5) = eq5.c(1)
lambda(6) = eq6.c(1)
lambda(7) = eq7.c(1)

coef(7) mu
mu(1) = eq1.c(2)
mu(2) = eq2.c(2)
mu(3) = eq3.c(2)
mu(4) = eq4.c(2)
mu(5) = eq5.c(2)
mu(6) = eq6.c(2)
mu(7) = eq7.c(2)

coef(3) omega
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))
omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))

However I am not sure about omega and how to declare these coefficients, I understand it should be a 7x7 lower triangular matrix? I have already looked through all of these related posts on here and Im stuck at this point. Is there any help you can give? Ive attached the workfile for viewing

Thanks,

SIMLGL

This is just the initialization of coefficients to be used later in the analysis. Omegas are used to construct the constants in the conditional variance equations. I can assure you that you can find all the help an guidance you need in the previous posts of this thread.

Hi Trubador,

Thanks for the reply.It is much appreciated I've gone through all of the posts here but I just need some confirmation.

Am I right in saying that because my omega is a lower traingular 7x7 matrix, there should be 28 omega commands to enter? For example, would this be right to enter?

omega(1)=(eq1.c(3))^.5 (Can you explain why many programs have "^.5?")
omega(2)=0?.................(What is the reason for most programs having omega 2 as 0?
omega(3)=(eq2.c(3))
omega(4)=(eq3.c(3))
omega(5)=(eq4.c(3))
omega(6)=(eq5.c(3))
omega(7)=(eq6.c(3)).............?

And for my alpha and beta coefficients, which are diagonal matrices, there will also will 28 each to satisfy this equation? Thanks again for your help :)

Regards,

simlgl

Hi trubador

I have modified this set of codes. I am learning the garch-m modelling. If anything sounds stupid, please bear with me.

I have two questions hope you can help me to confirm them:

1. May I ask whether this model is the "constant conditional correlation (ccc)" multivariate garch model?

2. It seems the output does not show the correlation of variances, can I write the below equation to get the correlation of variances?

Code: Select all

series corr12=cov_y1y2/(var_y1^.5 * var_y2^.5)


Many thanks for your help.

1) No, it is not a CCC model.
2) Yes, that is the formula of correlation.

Dear trubador
Thanks for your reply. If it is not a ccc model. Which model is it, bekk?

As it is written in the very beginning of the code: "restricted (diagonal) version of tri-variate BEKK".

Dear trubador

Thanks for your reply. I missed to see that information.

My data is in irregular sample period. I read so many discussions here but no matter how I tried I still got errors:
=================================
Missing values in @LOGL series at current coefficients at observation 12/03/1990 in "DO_ BVGARCH.ML(SHOWOPTS, M=100, C=1E-5)".
LogL estimates are not valid in "SHOW BVGARCH.OUTPUT".
VARCOV is not defined in "SHOW VARCOV".
LogL estimates are not valid in "SCALAR LR = -2*( EQ1.@LOGL + EQ2.@LOGL - BVGARCH.@LOGL )".
LR is not defined in "SCALAR LR_PVAL = 1 - @CCHISQ(LR,1)".
=================================

I attach my workfile and the code here.
Please indicate me
(a) which one(s) goes wrong?
(b) With my codes, var_y1, var_y2 and covariance series appear all the same. Is it normal? Are these initial values? So, the output is not successfully generated yet?
(c) As my two equations are with different independent variables. I worry about my covariance equation, may you help me check whether I get it right.
(d) My key result is the correlation of variances. As you have said it is the right equation, is it in the right place of the codes?

Many thanks for your help.

I really do not have anything new or different to say other than my previous posts under similar threads. For example, I instantly noticed that:

1) You do not define the sample object "ss" anywhere in the code or workfile,
2) Dependent variable y1 have missing values until 10/31/2005.

Unless you successfully estimate the model, you'll keep getting those error messages...
