Worldwide Equity Risk PredictionDavid ArdiaLaval University - Département de Finance et Assurance; Centre interuniversitaire sur le risque, les politiques économiques et l'emploi (CIRPÉE) Lennart F. HoogerheideVrije Universiteit Amsterdam - Dept. of Econometrics May 23, 2012 Applied Economics Letters, Forthcoming Abstract: Various GARCH models are applied to daily returns of more than 1200 constituents of major stock indices worldwide. The value-at-risk forecast performance is investigated for different markets and industries, considering the test for correct conditional coverage using the false discovery rate (FDR) methodology. For most of the markets and industries we find the same two conclusions. First, an asymmetric GARCH specification is essential when forecasting the 95% value-at-risk. Second, for both the 95% and 99% value-at-risk it is crucial that the innovations’ distribution is fat-tailed (e.g., Student-t or – even better – a non-parametric kernel density estimate).
