Financial Interpretation of insignificant a12, significant b

Unread post by humyra »

In my asymmetric BEKK GARCH model, if a12 is insignificant and b12 is significant, what could be the financial interpretation? Volatility persistence without spillovers?

Not really. If B12 is significant, then residuals from 1 affect the variance of 2 with a lag.

BEKK coefficients aren't designed to be interpreted individually.

It's a tough model to discuss.
