　概要を見る

There exist several estimators for valuing the Asian option on the arithmetic mean. Among all variance reduction estimators, the one with the control variate derived from the geometric mean has been shown by Boyle et al. (1997) to perform best so far. In this paper, a new improved control variate estimator for this type of Asian option is proposed and investigated. Simulation results confirm that it does perform better than the control variate derived from the geometric mean. The improvement becomes more significant as the volatility increases and/or as the time to expiration lengthens. © Springer 2006.

Exact inference using variable integrating constant importance distributions

Computational Economics 23 （ 1 ） 45-70 - 70 2004年02月

研究論文（学術雑誌）, 共著, 査読有り,  ISSN  0927-7099

　概要を見る

In this paper a new class of importance distributions that are based on normal and t-distributions are introduced. They are labeled variable integrating constant distributions or VIC distributions. The main innovation in this class of distributions is that the standard error associated with each prameter is expanded in an exponential polynomial function of the scaled distance from its mode, with a different polynomial used in each direction and for each parameter. Resulting variances differ at each point in the parameter space, thereby breaking the flexibility limitations that are inherent in normal and t-distributions allowing them to be closely matched to the posterior distribution whose moments are the goal of the inference exercise. Two illustrations are presented in which the performance of normal, t, normal-VIC, and t-VIC importance distributions are compared. Results show the VIC distributions to produce globally stable weights and substantial improvements in the numerical efficiency of importance sampling and independence Metropolis estimates. © 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Ratio Tests of a Unit Root

Communications in Statisfics:Theory and Methods （MARCEL DEKKER INC）  29 （ 11 ） 2547 - 2571 2000年11月

　概要を見る

Based on the maximal invariant principle, we derive two ratio tests (locally best invariant test and point optimal test) for a unit root and compare them with previously proposed ratio tests. We also show that our ratio tests tend to have better powers than the Dickey-Fuller test and the modified Dickey-Fuller test.

Structural changes in volatility of foreign exchange rates after the Asian financial crisis

　概要を見る

Regime-shift models of daily returns are estimated for the foreign exchange rates of the Asian currencies that suffered from drastic devaluation during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and the change points are detected for their volatility structures. Furthermore, how the persistence in the volatility of their exchange rates changed after the crisis is examined. © 2000 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Bayesian analysis of ARMA-GARCH models: A Markov chain sampling approach

中妻 照雄

Journal of Econometrics （ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA）  95 （ 1 ） 57-69 - 69 2000年

研究論文（学術雑誌）, 単著, 査読有り,  ISSN  0304-4076

　概要を見る

We develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo method for a linear regression model with an ARMA(p, q)-GARCH(r, s) error. To generate a Monte Carlo sample from the joint posterior distribution, we employ a Markov chain sampling with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. As illustration, we estimate an ARMA-GARCH model of simulated time series data. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All righter reserved. JEL classification: C11; C22.

Bayesian estimation of ARMA-GARCH model of weekly foreign exchange rates

Asia-Pacific Financial Markets （Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH）  6 （ 1 ） 71-84 - 84 1999年

研究論文（学術雑誌）, 共著, 査読有り,  ISSN  1387-2834

　概要を見る

Three Bayesian methods (Markov chain Monte Carlo, Laplace approximation and quadrature formula) are developed to estimate the parameters of the ARMA-GARCH model. The ARMA-GARCH model is applied to weekly foreign exchange rate data of five major currencies, and their stochastic volatilities are judged by the posterior probabilities of stationarity and other conditions. © 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

A Markov-chain sampling algorithm for GARCH models

Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics （M I T PRESS）  3 （ 2 ） 107-117 - 117 1998年

研究論文（学術雑誌）, 単著, 査読有り,  ISSN  1081-1826

　概要を見る

This paper describes a GAUSS program of a Markov-chain sampling algorithm for GARCH models proposed by Nakatsuma (1998). This algorithm allows us to generate Monte Carlo samples of parameters in a GARCH model from their joint posterior distribution. The samples obtained by this algorithm are used for Bayesian analysis of the GARCH model. As numerical examples, GARCH models of simulated data and of weekly foreign exchange rate series are estimated and analyzed.
