In this paper we model absolute price changes of an option on the XETRA DAX index based on quote-by-quote data from the EUREX exchange. In contrast to other authors, we focus on a parameter-driven model for this purpose and use a Poisson Generalized Linear Model (GLM) with a latent AR(1) process...

Motivated by increment process modeling for two correlated random and non-random systems from a discrete-time asset pricing with both risk free asset and risky security, we propose a class of semi-parametric regressions for a combination of a non-random and a random system. Unlike classical...

Stock market volatility is the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in stock market security value. In this study, GARCH model was built to generate stock price volatility and quantile regression estimation was used to determine the cause of volatility in stock market at...

Volatility tests are an alternative to regression tests for evaluating the joint null hypothesis of market efficiency and risk neutrality. Acomparison of the power of the two kinds of tests depends on what the alternative hypothesis is taken to be. By considering tests based on conditional...
