Author Description

In the early 1980s, R.F. Engle pioneered the econometric technique of Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH), which has subsequently generated a very considerable literature. This collection brings together the leading papers which have shaped ARCH research from its inception to the latest developments. Papers present both theory and financial market analysis, and discuss the key issues in the use of ARCH models to study volatility and correlation: which model to use, what time intervals to employ, how to model multivariate systems, how to apply the models to price and trade options, and how to model volatility spillovers across markets and within the day.
