geovol-package: Geopolitical Volatility (GEOVOL) Modelling

Description

Simulation, estimation and inference for the geopolitical volatility (GEOVOL) model of Engle and Campos-Martins (2020) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3685213>, where GEOVOL is modelled as a latent multiplicative volatility factor with heterogeneous factor loadings. Estimation is carried out as a maximization-maximization procedure, where GEOVOL and the GEOVOL loadings are estimated iteratively until convergence.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
set.seed(123)

## Simulate from a GEOVOL model (default):
eSim <- geovolSim(n = 1500, m = 30)

## Test for GEOVOL:
geovolTest(e = eSim^2-1)

## Estimate a GEOVOL model:
eEst <- geovol(e = eSim)
eEst
# }
