Dynamic Modeling of Extreme Dependence Structure: Applications to Hong Kong, Chinese and Other Asian Stock Markets
The most well known dependence measure in finance is the Pearson correlation coefficient which indicates the strength of the linear relationship between two random variables. However, correlation sometimes gives us an incompleted or even a misleading description of dependence. In recent development of risk management, there has been increasing emphasis on extreme market losses. Our discussion focuses on tail dependence coefficient (TDC) as an extreme dependence measure. TDC is defined as the conditional likelihood that extreme market losses occur simultaneously. As a main construction block of TDC time series modeling, we utilize a Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (MGARCH) model with time-varying correlation matrix proposed by Tse and Tsui (2002). Our methodology is applied to Asian financial markets where we provide evidences that the extreme dependence structures in these markets have generally become stronger in recent years.
