| Summary: | 博士 === 國立政治大學 === 經濟研究所 === 97 === The finance commodity exchange's multiplicity holds the very heavy component in the detachable money market aspect, after the financial liberalization. It also enables the investor to have many chances and commodities of investment. The investor purchases the financial commodity besides the higher reward, and does not allow regarding investment risk's management to regard. In 2007, the securitization commodity violation of US's subprimemortgage explodes causes Lehman Brothers and the AIG group erupts the financial crisis. This is precisely the investor pursues the high reward, and their administration centers have not created properly in the risk management.
When we measure risks, we usually adopt the variance or the standard deviation. That is to weight its property of volatilities. There is much information in the volatilities. In this thesis, we discussed two kinds of information which the property of volatilities discloses. One is the value at risk (VaR hereafter). In this article, we use long-term memory's GARCH model to explain that the VaR of Taiwan stock index futures returns and Singapore's MSCI Taiwan index futures returns. Moreover, we attempts to seek for whether there are long relationship of the residuals volatilities between these two futures markets.
This thesis was combined by three essays. The first essay employed the FIGARCH model of Baillie, Bollerslev, and Millelsen (1996) to calculated the VaR of Taiwan stock index futures returns. The second essay employed the FIGARCH model and FIAPARCH model of Tse (1998) to calculated the VaR of Singapore's MSCI Taiwan index futures returns.
We calculated the VaRs of the different two futures markets by using the FIGARCH and FIAPARCH models with three different distributions-normal, student-t and skewed student-t. The empirical results showed the two futures markets both has long memory. It is not efficient to calculated the VaRs by using the traditional normal distribution. The Student-t distribution fitted the model better than the normal distribution.
The third essay, we employed the Engle-Granger (1987) two-step cointegration model to test whether there are long relationship of the residuals volatilities between the Taiwan stock index futures returns and Singapore's MSCI Taiwan index futures returns. The empirical results showed that there was fractional cointegration between the two futures markets and the volatility in Taiwan stock index futures market is about 83% of that in MSCI Taiwan Index Futures market.
