This paper investigates volatility spillovers in the stock market in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic by using GARCH family models. The empirical analysis is focused on the dynamics of the NIKKEI 225 stock market index during the sample period from July 30, 1998, to January 24, 2022. In other...

Understanding the impact of economic shocks on exchange-rate volatility is important because it could help mitigate risks and vulnerabilities that affect investment decisions and macroeconomic stability. In this paper, we examine how asymmetric shocks and volatility are transmitted across major...

We use Deep Neural Networks to reconstruct GARCH parameters for empirical financial time series. The algorithm we develop, allows us to fit autocovariance of squared returns of financial data, with certain time lags, the second order statistical moment and the fourth order standardised moment....
