Description

Volatility Modeling

Econometrics Toolbox has a complete set of tools for building on time-varying volatility models. The toolbox supports several variants of univariate GARCH models, including standard ARCH/GARCH models, as well as asymmetric EGARCH and GJR models designed to capture leverage effects in asset returns. The toolbox supports the simulation of stochastic volatility models, including the Heston model.
