ARCH Processes
The GARCH Model
Eet et-i = 0 ( i ≠ 0)
= a0/( 1 - a1 )
ARCH Interactions with the
Mean
Consider: yt =a0 + a1yt–1 + et
= Et–1(et)2 = a0 + a1(et–1)2
Unconditional Variance:

Since: t 1 a 1 t i

The McLeod–Li (1983) test for ARCH errors using four lags:
yt = log(RGDPt/RGDPt1).
yt = 0.004 + 0.398yt1 + t
(7.50) (6.76)
ht = 1.10x10-4 + 0.182 – 8.76x105Dt
(7.87) (2.89) (–6.14)
The intercept of the variance equation was 1.10 104 prior to 1984Q1 and
experienced a significant decline to 2.22 105 (= 1.10 104 – 8.76 105)
beginning in 1984Q1.
