Returns of S&P500:
Realized d-day historical volatilities of S&P500:
(measured in daily units, not yearly)
Comparison of normalized returns to standard normal distribution:
Chapter 3: Time Series Models with Return-Driven Volatilities:
A Common Sense Approach
Simulated Black-Scholes path with 1% daily volatility:
(corresponding to about 16% yearly volatility)
Simulated path for the "naive ARCH model":
apparently, the model needs to be adjusted..
Chapter 4: The ARCH Time Series Model
Simulated ARCH(5)-path: pronounced volatility clustering
Simulated ARCH(15)-path: returns cluster into large and small size
regions:
Simulated ARCH(250)-path: returns more uniformly distributed:
