Exploring Persistence In Financial Time Series, David K C. Lee

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

If financial time series exhibits persistence or long-memory, then their unconditional probability distribution may not be normal. This has important implications for many areas in finance, especially asset pricing, option pricing, portfolio allocation and risk management. Furthermore, if the random walk does not apply, a wide range of results obtained by quantitative analysis may be inappropriate. The capital asset pricing model, the Black-Scholes option pricing formula, the concept of risk as standard deviation or volatility, and the use of Sharpe, Treynor, and other performance measures are not consistent with nonnormal distributions. Unfortunately, nonnormality is common among distributions of financial time …

Using daily AOIs and SPI futures on the Australian market, optimal hedge ratios are calculated from four different models: the OLS regression model, the bivariate vector autoaggressive model (BVAR), the error-correction model (ECM) and the multivariate diagonal Vcc GARCH Model. The performance of each hedge ratio is then compared. The …
