(1)Mean equation:
By using ACF, PACF, and Q test, we can evaluate the form of mean equation
via ARMA procedure.
View/Residual Tests/Correlogram Q-statistics
This view can be used to test for remaining serial correlation in the mean
equation and to check the specification of the mean equation. If the mean
equation is correctly specified, all Q-statistics should not be significant.
(2) Variance equation:
We can also apply Ljung-Box Q

test:
and use ACF and PACF to decide the number of lag for GARCH (p, q ).
View/Residual Tests/Correlogram Squared Residuals
This view can be used to test for remaining ARCH in the variance equation
and to check the specification of the variance equation. If the variance
equation is correctly specified, all Q-statistics should not be significant.

For Equities, it is often observed that downward movements in the
market are followed by higher volatilities than upward movements of
the same magnitude. EViews estimates two models that allow for
asymmetric shocks to volatility: TARCH and EGARCH.

1. The TARCH Model: Threshold ARCH
In this model, good news (
t
>0 ), and bad new (
t
<0 ), have differential
effects on the conditional variancegood news has an impact of ,
while bad news has an impact of + r. If r>0 we say that the leverage
effect exists. If r0, the news impact is asymmetric.

If the leverage effect term (r), represented by (RESID<0)*ARCH(1) in
the output, is significantly positive but there appears to be no

2. The EGARCH Model
The specification for the conditional variance is
Note that the left-hand side is the log of the conditional variance. This
implies that the leverage effect is exponential, and that forecasts of the
conditional variance are guaranteed to be nonnegative. The presence
of leverage effects can be tested by the hypothesis that r0. The
impact is asymmetric if r 0.

To estimate an EGARCH model, simply select the EGARCH radio button
under the ARCH specification settings.
The leverage effect term (r), denoted as RES/SQR[GARCH](1) in the
output, is negative and statistically different from zero, indicating the
existence of the leverage effect in future bonds returns R during the
sample period.

Modeling the Volatility in the US Dollar/Deutschmark exchange rates
from 1971 to 1993.
1. The dependent variable is the daily nominal return,
where s is the spot rate. The return series clearly shows volatility
clustering, especially early in the sample.
2. GARCH(1,1)-MA(1) model
The mean equation includes the conditional variance and the errors
are MA(1). The MON series in the conditional variance equation is
a dummy variable for Monday, which is meant to capture the non-
trading period effect during the weekend.

h) View/Residual Tests/Historgram-Normality test
The residuals are highly leptokurtic and the Jarque-Bera (JB) test
decisively rejects the normal distribution.
JB test is a test statistic for testing whether the series is normally
distributed. The test statistic measures the difference of the skewness
and kurtosis of the series with those from the normal distribution.
Jarque-Bera=
Where S is the skewness, K is the kurtosis, and k represents the number
of estimated coefficients used to create the series.
Under the null hypothesis of a normal distribution, the JB statistic is
distributed as x

with 2 degrees of freedom.

If the residuals are normally distributed, the QQ-plots should lie
on a straight line. The plot shows that it is primarily a few large
outliers that are driving the departure from normality.
