This paper studies the empirical performance of stochastic volatility models for twenty years of weekly exchange rate data for four major currencies. We concentrate on the eects of the distribution of the exchange rate innovations for both parameter estimates and for estimates of the latent volatili

Abstract
In regression model with stochastic design, the observations have been primarily treated as a simple random sample from a bivariate distribution. It is of enormous practical significance to generalize the situation to stochastic processes. In this paper, estimation and hypothesis testing problems in stochastic volatility model are considered, when the volatility depends on a nonlinear function of the state variable of other stochastic process, but the correlation coefficient |ฯ|โ ยฑ1. The methods are applied to estimate the volatility of stock returns from Shanghai stock exchange. Copyright ยฉ 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper develops a new method for the analysis of stochastic volatility (SV) models. Since volatility is a latent variable in SV models, it is dicult to evaluate the exact likelihood. In this paper, a non-linear ยฎlter which yields the exact likelihood of SV models is employed. Solving a series of
