A multiple-regime threshold generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic capital asset pricing model is introduced. The model captures asymmetric risk through allowing market beta to change discretely between regimes that are driven by market information. Asymmetric volatility and...

A family of threshold nonlinear generalised autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic models is considered, that allows smooth transitions between regimes, capturing size asymmetry via an exponential smooth transition function. A Bayesian approach is taken and an efficient adaptive sampling...

We consider two problems concerning locating change points in a linear regression model. One involves jump discontinuities (change-point) in a regression model and the other involves regression lines connected at unknown points. We compare four methods for estimating single or multiple change...

Testing for Granger non-causality over varying quantile levels could be used to measure and infer dynamic linkages, enabling the identification of quantiles for which causality is relevant, or not. However, dynamic quantiles in financial application settings are clearly affected by...

This paper examines the ASEAN-5 countries and explores the impact of structural breaks on the level of financial integration in that region. An extended cointegration procedure allowing for three types of structural break, is employed and compared with the standard Johansen procedure, for daily...

The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we exploit copula methodology, with two threshold GARCH models as marginals, to construct a bivariate copula threshold GARCH model, simultaneously capturing asymmetric nonlinear behaviour in univariate stock returns of spot and futures markets...

BAYSTAR provides Bayesian MCMC methods for iteratively sampling to provide parameter estimates and inference for the two-regime SETAR model. A convenient user interface for importing data from a file or specifying true values for simulated data is easy to apply for analysis. Parameter inferences...

A multiple-regime threshold nonlinear financial time series model, with a fat-tailed error distribution, is discussed and Bayesian estimation and inference is considered. Further, approximate Bayesian posterior model comparison among competing models with different numbers of regimes is...
