Applying generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models to model univariate volatility
This paper aims to model volatility of daily index returns for four Asian markets namely; Kuala Lumpur Composite Index of Malaysia, Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index of Indonesia, Straits Times Index of Singapore and the Stock Index of Korea over the period 03/01/2007 – 31/07/2013 excluding the...
