Value at Risk (hereafter, VaR) is at the center of the recent interest in
the risk management field.

The Definition of VaR
VaR for a Confidence Interval of 99%
VARα 0 μ
Absolute VaR
Relative VaR
%1
The figure presents the definition for the VaR. VaR concept focuses on point VaRα, or the left-tailed maximum loss with confidence interval 1-α

Normal +Normal=Normal?
• Normal +Normal=Normal• But, state-varying framework is
– some observations from Dist. 1– other observations from Dist. 2
• How to decide the sample from distribution 1 or distribution 2?
• Two mechanisms: threshold systems and Markov-switching models

The Most Popular Stochastic Volatility Setting
The ARCH and GARCH models
![Page 14: Estimating Value at Risk via Markov Switching ARCH models An Empirical Study on Stock Index Returns](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d1f5503460f949f2b18/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Why We Propose Hamilton and Susmel (1994)’s SWARCH Model?
The Structure Change During the Estimating Periods
The SWARCH Models Incorporate Markov Switching (MS) and ARCH models
Use the MS to Control the Structural Changes and Thus Mitigate the Returns Volatility High Persistence Problems in ARCH models.

Empirical Analyses
• Data: – Dow Jones, Nikkei, FCI and FTSE index
returns.
• Sample period is between January 7, 1980 and February 26, 1999
• Models: – ARCH, GARCH and SWARCH to control non-
normality properties

Empirical Analyses
• 1,000-day windows in the rolling estimation process.
• The research design begins with our collecting the 1,000 pre-VaR daily returns, , for each date t.

Empirical Analyses
• 4,838 trading days during the sample period • For our tests with 1,000 prior-trading-day estimat
ion window and one-day as the order of the lagged term, we have 3,837 out-sample observations of violation rates.
• If the VaR estimate is accurate, the violation rate should be 1%, or the violation number should be approximately equal to 38
