Abstract: | The paper applies a new multivariate stochastic volatility (SV) model to a set of emerging stock markets and uses a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation procedure. The author shows the following: i. The new model performs well relative to alternative multivariate SV models and compute the conditional betas for the different markets and compare the results with an often-used procedure based on multivariate GARCH models. ii. The new multivariate SV model more accurately captures the time-varying nature of country risk. The results suggests an alternative method to estimate time-varying country risk. |
