Structural Change as an Alternative to Long Memory in Financial Time Series

Tze Leung Lai and Haipeng Xing

A chapter in Econometric Analysis of Financial and Economic Time Series, 2006, pp 205-224 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This paper shows that volatility persistence in GARCH models and spurious long memory in autoregressive models may arise if the possibility of structural changes is not incorporated in the time series model. It also describes a tractable hidden Markov model (HMM) in which the regression parameters and error variances may undergo abrupt changes at unknown time points, while staying constant between adjacent change-points. Applications to real and simulated financial time series are given to illustrate the issues and methods.
