Abstract

The objective of this paper is to put forward a new autoregressive asymmetric stochastic volatility model for modeling volatility and to compare results obtained for this model with an autoregressive stochastic model and another asymmetric volatility model, such as, asymmetric generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model. The results obtained from the estimation by maximum likelihood have shown the volatility behavior is asymmetric in the majority of cases. This fact is better shown by the ARSVA model, than the rest of alternative models. Moreover, the ARSVA model is able to reproduce other stylized facts of such series, such as high kurtosis, no autocorrelation of returns, slow decreasing of the autocorrelation function of the squared returns and high persistence.
