In the common nonparametric regression model the problem of testing for a specific parametric form of the variance function is considered. Recently Dette and Hetzler (2008) proposed a test statistic, which is based on an empirical process of pseudo residuals. The process converges weakly to a...

DAMGARCH extends the VARMA-GARCH model of Ling and McAleer (2003) by introducing multiple thresholds and time-dependent structure in the asymmetry of the conditional variances. DAMGARCH models the shocks affecting the conditional variances on the basis of an underlying multivariate distribution....

This paper attempts to determine the relationship between conditional stock market volatility and macroeconomic volatility using monthly data for Turkey from 1986 to 2003. The macroeconomic variables used include industrial production, the money supply M1, inflation, an exchange rate variable,...
