Abstract

A full Bayesian analysis of GARCH and EGARCH models is proposed consisting of parameter estimation, model selection and volatility prediction. The Bayesian paradigm is implemented via Markov-chain Monte Carlo methodologies. We provide implementation details and illustrations using the General index of the Athens stock exchange.

Keywords: Markov-chain Monte Carlo, model averaging, reversible jump, volatility prediction
