AbstractWe consider a multivariate Markov-switching GARCH model which allows for regime-specific volatility dynamics, leverage effects, and correlation structures. Conditions for stationarity and expressions for the moments of the process are derived. A Lagrange Multiplier test against misspecification of the within-regime correlation dynamics is proposed, and a simple recursion for multi-step-ahead conditional covariance matrices is deduced. We use this methodology to model the dynamics of the joint distribution of global stock market and real estate equity returns. The empirical analysis highlights the importance of the conditional distribution in Markov-switching time series models. Specifications with Student’stinnovations dominate their Gaussian counterparts both in- and out-of-sample. The dominating specification appears to be a two-regime Student’stprocess with correlations which are higher in the turbulent (high-volatility) regime.

In this paper, we consider the Markov regime-switching GJR-GARCH(1,1) model to capture both the cumulative impulse response and the asymmetry of the dynamic behavior of financial market volatility in stationary and explosive states. The model can capture regime shifts in volatility between two regimes as well as the asymmetric response to negative and positive shocks. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to validate the main theory and find that the regime-switching GJR-GARCH model performs better than the standard GJR-GARCH model. Applications to Brazilian stock market data show that the proposed model performs well in terms of cumulative impulse response.
