Abstract
In this paper we assess the suitability of weighted-indexed semi-Markov chains (WISMC) to study risk measures as applied to high-frequency financial data. The considered measures are the drawdown of fixed level, the time to crash, the speed of crash, the recovery time and the speed of recovery; they provide valuable information in portfolio management and in the selection of investments. The results obtained by implementing the WISMC model are compared with those based on the real data and also with those achieved by GARCH and EGARCH models. Globally, the WISMC model performs much better than the other econometric models for all the considered measures unless in the cases when the percentage of censored units is more than 30% where the models behave similarly.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Complex Systems aims to provide a unique medium of communication for multidisciplinary approaches, either empirical or theoretical, to the study of complex systems. The latter are seen as systems comprised of multiple interacting components, or agents. Nonlinear feedback processes, stochastic influences, specific conditions for the supply of energy, matter, or information may lead to the emergence of new system qualities on the macroscopic scale that cannot be reduced to the dynamics of the agents. Quantitative approaches to the dynamics of complex systems have to consider a broad range of concepts, from analytical tools, statistical methods and computer simulations to distributed problem solving, learning and adaptation. This is an interdisciplinary enterprise.
