Hi

[@naziasaleem479]

How to interpret the data in excel for ARCH AND GARCH model nd where from get the data plzzz tell me

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Nazia, I have comprehensive videos on GARCH and ARCH modeling. Kindly watch them and listen to the interpretations. GARCH/ARCH data is available free of charge on my website crunchconometrix.com.ng/shop/

[@ahlemouhibi3582]

Thanks a lot for the video then i have a question when i didn't find an ARCH effect for some countries and i didn't drop it because there are so important in my work. What should i do to get the ARCH effect? Any suggestions ? thanks

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Ahlem, if your model has no ARCH effect there's nothing to do about it...to the best of my knowledge, though.

[@vinushakthi1]

Dear Adeleye.. Thanks for all your videos. They are really helpful for me for my research analysis. Clearly explained, well delivered. Short and crisp and to the point. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much. God Bless you and your work.

[@CrunchEconometrix]

You're most welcome, Vinu!

Excellent video. I want to use GARCH, before which I need to test ARCH and that's why I watched this video. It is so clear and logic, thank you.

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Thanks for the encouraging feedback, Yu. Deeply appreciated! Please may I know from where (location) you are reaching me?

[@mohammadtaufan9914]

Thank you professor, your videos are so easy to understand. I hope you all the good in life for teaching us the beginners

[@CrunchEconometrix]

So nice of you, Taufan...and amen to your prayers!!!

[@rickymacharm9867]

Hello Professor. I was able to use your videos to pass a course I took on Econometrics...with no prior knowledge. I did mine mostly using open-source R and some Python as I have no useful knowledge of eviews; besides the course required open source tools like R and Python. Your videos broke it down for me to a level a newbie would be comfortable with without losing the essence and thoroughness required in the course.

I'm popping champagne for you, Ricky! Congratulations!!! Please tell your colleagues about my Channel...thanks!

Good day ma, while inserting variables in the "estimate equation" box why did you include the lagged variable I mean r_ftse(-1)? And is it always compulsory to do that?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Folakemi, you need to first understand the model specification BEFORE estimation the model. Please watch the clip again and pay attention to the model specification for you to know the essence of the lagged term.

[@parvejmahmud1740]

Hello, nice to share the videos. I thing I don’t understand how did you load the data?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Parvel, kindly watch my video on how to import excel file into EViews.

[@alibabausman9743]

Well done Prof. Ahhm! in estimate ARCH effects, is there need for order of integration? that is at what stationarity does a researcher run the ARCH model. is it that all variable must be significant at levels, or first difference, or both? Thank you..

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Alibaba, I gave clear explanations about what to do. You may want to watch the video again and adapt to your study.

[@alvise2165]

Thanks for your video! How I identify if there is a higher-order of ARCH? I have volatility clustering but if I try to test for an ARCH(1) it does not show arch effect

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Alvise, if the test shows no ARCH effects why do you want to create one?

[@naveenkumar2968]

I am checking the relationship of 3 ratios on stock returns .. I find in the literature that they have given LM statistic variable wise .. not for the entire model .. how to get the LM statistic variable wise

[@CrunchEconometrix]

I have no idea about this, Naveen. You may want to check out other online resources. Thanks.

[@ololadedejo-ojomo5838]

Hi Ngozi, thank you for the video. it reallly helped as your presentation is clear and delivered. However can i test for arch effect on stock price rather than the returns?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Ololade, thanks for the positive feedback. Deeply appreciated! Yes, you can use prices. May I know from where (location) you are reaching me?

[@mohammedyunus1392]

What if I unable to reject the null hypothesis. Can I use Grach model? Without arch rejecting null hypothesis?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Mohd, if there are no ARCH effects, you can not use the GARCH technique.

Hi Ruchi, kindly watch my ARCH and ARIMA videos in EViews. Thanks.

[@markussalberg2360]

When I run a Q-test using (corrgram in STATA) on my squared residuals the correlations show strong evidence towards GARCH-effects, but when I do the archlm-test I fail to reject H0. What can I conclude from this?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

You decide which test you want to adopt after understanding their underlying assumptions. My advice is that you read up on them.

[@abhishekbawa7615]

I have one doubt, how do you determine if the model has an Arch effect? I didnt understand the part where you had discussed regarding the p value and the R2 value? Could you please elaborate on that?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Abhishek, explanation is clear and straightforward. A significant pvalue validates the presence of ARCH. Please watch the clip again. Thanks.

[@honeycleetus3645]

Ma'am the data used to be a log value of daily returns or actual value of return? Which one can be used for checking heteroscedasticity test-actual or log value?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

You can use the raw or log form.

[@thelonelyone2713]

This is the best GARCH-explaining video I watched so far, thank you so much, but I have a question I have monthly data of stock returns, when I test for ARCH effect, it is rejected at lag 1, but probability value is significant at lag 2. What should I do in this case? does this mean that I need to include two lags in the mean equation? help me please

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Thanks for the encouraging feedback. Deeply appreciated! As I mentioned, this test is just to confirm if you need to engage the ARCH procedure or not.

[@mustanggemini2156]

Hi Dr. Hope you are doing well. My data is monthly percentage change in the CPI for 9 years (And it has passed the stationary test). However, ARCH(1) test is not significant (p-value >0.05). What's your comment if I want to proceed to GARCH (1 1) model . Thank you Dr.

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Hi Khairul, thanks for the positive feedback and kind remarks about my KZbin videos. Deeply appreciated! The rule is simple: no arch effects, no ARCH model. Hence, no GARCH model too.

[@mohammedarmah9035]

Hi Dr. Thanks for your lovely video. Please when there is no arch effect after the data has passed stationery . Please what is way forward in order for presence of arch effect before proceed to GARCH(1, 1) model.

[@afiqahismail7428]

Hi Dr.! Thanks for the video, it is really helpful. I just wanna ask, if I want to test for presences of ARCH(3) effects, do I need to include all variable like this [r_ftse c r_ftse(-1) r_ftse(-2) r_ftse(-3)]?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

Afiqah, the software computes that automatically.

[@SinChick93]

Hi, I love your videos and find them super beneficial however i have a question Im running this test for 11 different time series, for one country i have broken time period into three parts and one of the periods is insignificant and we accept the null but if we run the test for the overall period or the other two parts they are significant, do we still estimate the arch? and if we look at the graph it is evident of volatility clustering. however it is highly insignificant for ARCH 1 lag but I have tried 2 lags and the probability then becomes significant, I'm not sure what this means?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

I'm not clear about your query, Siri.

[@SinChick93]

@@CrunchEconometrix what happens if I still run the estimate garch for a model where the probability test isn't significant?

[@CrunchEconometrix]

It implies there's no volatility in the variable.

[@SinChick93]

But when I change the arch lag to 2, it becomes significant? What does this mean?

[@dasundesilva5588]

Is r_ftse c r_ftse(-1) the same as typing r_ftse c ar(1)?
