Restricting Parameters in GARCH

Postby 15291057 » Sat Dec 14, 2013 7:54 am

Hey forum!

I am estimating a GARCH and GJR-GARCH model. I am doing this to test the information content implicit in the price of stock index options. One comparison I want to make, is the case when only one variable (in our case implied volatility) is used to explain the conditional variance process. In other words, I want to estimate the following mean return equation:

r = m + ht

and then let ht only depend on implied volatility, where ht is the conditional variance process. It would imply that I restrict in eviews the arch, garch and threshold terms to zero, but I am not allowed to do that. Any help?

Regards

LogL object comes handy in building such custom models. Please refer to manual for more details and search the forum for similar examples.
