How to use & interpret bivariate GARCH GJR model using mGJR()


I am using a bivariate GJR model using mGJR() command from R.

The instruction from the package "mgarchBEKK" says I input first time series, second time series, and so on. I am trying to use the unexpected returns as my input and need coefficients from these.

I thought I needed to input my pre-calculated unexpected returns as my first time series, second time series and so on into my model.

However, when I run mGJR(), it gives out the output saying "$resid1" and "$resid2" which look like the residuals (i.e. unexpected returns) which I've been looking for.

  1. If so, do I need to input the returns not the unexpected returns into the model to derive the unexpected returns automatically?

  2. Besides, how does my bivariate GJR GARCH model looks like if I try to describe it using the coefficients derived from my output below? How can I get the coefficients for the model that I need for my analysis from the long output I have below? Specifically, I find that I have a total of 17 coefficients where one of them is zero. I find that these coefficients are grouped by 4 where the last one is only one left.
    For instance, I find $est.params$1, $est.params$2, $est.params$3, $est.params$4, $est.params$5 where there is a total of 17 parameters. However, I am not sure how mathematically these are expressed explicitly within the formal bivariate GJR GARCH formula.

Please note that this is "bivariate" GJR GARCH not just GJR GARCH. Thus, I have 17 parameters where I have 4 blocks each with 4 coefficients plus one parameter making it a total of 17. However, I don't know which parameter corresponds to which variable coefficient. I tried to provide as much information as possible but if any clarification needed please let me know.

The output I get using the expected return is the following:

mGJR(eps1, eps2, order = c(1, 1, 1))

    Warning: initial values for the parameters are set at:

Solution

  • The mGJR command is used to estimate a GARCH (Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity) model. GARCH models are used to model volatility of time-series (most commonly asset returns). That (and lots of parameters) is what you can access from the fitted GJR object.


    If you want to know more about GARCH models paired with examples in R, I can recommend the following books by R. Tsay:


    do I need to input the returns not the unexpected returns into the model to derive the unexpected returns automatically?

    Usually the input for GARCH models are in the past observed returns. (see e.g. the above quoted books or this article by R. Engle, the person who initially proposed the ARCH model)

    There are some tests to determine if there are any linear dependencies in the time series. If there are, they need to be removed with a mean-model (such as VARIMA models). Examples and different cases are also in Tsays Analysis of Financial Time Series. The full process for volatility model building is nicely explained on page 133.

    Short: Your eps1 and eps2 need to be these (mean-model corrected) return series.

    Besides, how does my bivariate GJR GARCH model looks like if I try to describe it using the coefficients derived from my output below? How can I get the coefficients for the model that I need for my analysis from the long output I have below?

    It takes a bit of digging but when looking at a publication from Schmidbauer & Roesch (2008) and the code of the mgarchBEKK it looks like the mGJR specification is what the authors Schmidbauer & Roesch call a bivariate asymmetric quadratic GARCH (baqGARCH), which on page 5 of linked publication is defined as:

    Schmidbauer&Roesch(2008),P.5

    The parameters from the fitted GJR object represent in descending order: C, A, B, Gamma, w. as on page 7 of the publication (the values in smaller font in the parenthesis are t-values):

    baqGARCH_parameter_matrices

    Here a reproducible example for fitting mGJR and accessing the parameters:

    # packages
    library(mgarchBEKK)
    
    # generate heteroscedastic data
    
    dat <- simulateBEKK(series.count = 2, T = 200, c(1,1))
    
    returns1 <- dat$eps[[1]]
    returns2 <- dat$eps[[2]]
    
    # fit GJR to data
    
    my_mGJR <- mGJR(eps1 = returns1, eps2 = returns2, order = c(1, 1, 1))
    
    
    # extract parameters from GJR object
    my_param <- my_mGJR$est.params
    
    # assign names
    names(my_param) = c('C', 'A', 'B', 'Gamma', 'w')
    
    # access parameters
    my_param
    

    Take e.g. the coefficient-matrix B, [1,] and [2,] tell you which row, [,1] and [,2] which column of the matrix you are looking at. Here an oversimplified explanation: Since you have a bivariate model the diagonal elements [1,][,1] and [2,][,2] are the coefficients that tell you something about the respective series on its own variance. The off-diagonal elements are more about the conditional covariance or volatility spillover of the two series.

    Short: You have the equation from (2) -> You input the coefficients as shown above -> You can solve for H_T (conditional covariance matrix at time T) for the time dependant variables (returnseries_T-1, H_T-1).

    Specifically, I find that I have a total of 17 coefficients where one of them is zero.

    If a coefficient is fixed to zero it doesn't count as a parameter. The off-diagonal lower coefficient C is always fixed to zero. Thus you have a total of 16 parameters (if you don't restrict the model, such as the authors have done in their paper).

    However, when I run mGJR(), it gives out the output saying "$resid1" and "$resid2" which look like the residuals

    That is correct, they are the residuals that are not explained by the coefficients, but for the conditional volatility (not sure what you are on about "unexpected returns"). They are so to speak what cannot be explained by the model, random white noise (see e.g. here or wikipedia). Residuals in GARCH models are mostly used to perform some model adequacy tests to answer the question: "Does my fitted model adequately explain the conditional variance equation?"

    Here a plot of the conditional volatility, conditional correlation and the residuals. There seem to be some volatility clustering in the conditional standarddeviation of the series (first two plots). There doesn't seem to be quite as much structure in the residual series (last two plots).

    example_plot

    And the code for the plot:

    library(ggplot2)
    library(reshape2)
    
    my_results <- data.frame(index       = 1:200,
                             sd_returns1 = my_mGJR$sd1,
                             sd_returns2 = my_mGJR$sd2,
                             cor_returns = my_mGJR$cor,
                             res_returns1 = my_mGJR$resid1,
                             res_returns2 = my_mGJR$resid2)
    
    # melt data to long format for plotting
    
    p_results = melt(my_results, id = 'index')
    
    # plot the results
    
    my_p = ggplot(p_results, aes(x = index, y = value)) +
      geom_line() +
      facet_grid(variable ~ ., scales = "free_y") +
      theme_bw()
    
    
    ggsave('example_cor_sd_res.png', plot = my_p, device = 'png', units = 'cm',
           width = 12, height = 15)
    

    I am trying to replicate the following situation:

    Basically you have everything you need. Significance of the parameters (either p-values or t-values) can be calculated from the standard errors of the parameters. For the t-values e.g. you need to divide the parameters by the standard errors. The standard errors can be taken from the GJR object like:

    my_param_se = my_mGJR$asy.se.coef
    
    names(my_param_se) = paste0(rep("tvals_", 5), c('C', 'A', 'B', 'Gamma', 'w'))
    
    my_param_se
    

    Since the mGJR commands model (or baqGARCH) is similarly constructed as e.g. the BEKK-GARCH you probably won't be able to interpret it the same way as in your example. As I've elaborated above the diagonal elements of the different coefficients will tell you about significant conditional volatility of series 1 from innovations in series 1. The off-diagonal elements will tell you something about volatility-spillover from one series to the other. If you want to account for that you will need to include these results in your table.

    Then I am trying to get the output as below:

    Most of this I explained above, just one note to the residuals. It looks like the model adequacy was gauged by the LjungBox-Test (=LB?). See e.g. here.

    I hope this answers your questions.

    Edit: updated answer to include the additional questions.
