In this article we consider the modified Shewhart control chart for ARCH processes and introduce it for threshold ARCH (TARCH) ones. For both charts, we determine bounds for the distribution of the in-control run length (RL) and, consequently, for its average (ARL), both depending only on the...

This paper examines exchange-rate volatility with GARCH models using monthly exchange-rate return series from 1985:1 to 2011:7 for Naira/US dollar return and from 2004:1 to 2011:7 for Naira/British Pounds and Naira/Euro returns. The study compare estimates of variants of GARCH models with break...

This article generalises the results of Sadi and Zakoian (2006) to a considerably larger class of nonlinear ARCH models with discontinuities, leverage e ects and robust news impact curves. We propose a new method of proof for the existence of a strictly stationary and phi-mixing solution....
