Abstract
Financial crises prediction is an essential topic in finance. Designing an efficient Early Warning System (EWS) can help prevent catastrophic losses resulting from financial crises. We propose different EWSs for predicting potential market instability conditions, where market instability refers to large asset price declines. The EWSs are based on the logit regression and employ Early Warning Indicators (EWIs) based on the realized variance (RV) and/or price-volatility feedback rate. The latter EWI is supposed to describe the ease of the market in absorbing small price perturbations. Our study reveals that, while RV is important in predicting future price losses in a given time series, the EWI employing the price-volatility feedback rate can improve prediction further.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Forecasting is a leading journal in its field that publishes high quality refereed papers. It aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making forecasting useful and relevant for decision and policy makers. The journal places strong emphasis on empirical studies, evaluation activities, implementation research, and improving the practice of forecasting. It welcomes various points of view and encourages debate to find solutions to field-related problems. The journal is the official publication of the International Institute of Forecasters (IIF) and is indexed in Sociological Abstracts, Journal of Economic Literature, Statistical Theory and Method Abstracts, INSPEC, Current Contents, UMI Data Courier, RePEc, Academic Journal Guide, CIS, IAOR, and Social Sciences Citation Index.
