This paper aims to investigate the performance of the information criteria among three different GARCH models (GARCH, EGARCH, and GRJ-GARCH), considering whether or not to use Google Trends (GT) time series as an exogenous variable in the conditional variance of the Ibovespa index. Furthermore, the study assessed which of two different probability functions - normal distribution and t-student - is the best option. The results show that the GRJ-GARCH model with Student’s t distribution performed best according to Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC) and the Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (BIC). However, according to the different information criteria, the results diverged on the effectiveness of including GT data as an exogenous variable.

摘要

This paper aims to investigate the performance of the information criteria among three different GARCH models (GARCH, EGARCH, and GRJ-GARCH), considering whether or not to use Google Trends (GT) time series as an exogenous variable in the conditional variance of the Ibovespa index. Furthermore, the study assessed which of two different probability functions - normal distribution and t-student - is the best option. The results show that the GRJ-GARCH model with Student’s t distribution performed best according to Akaike’s Information Criteria (AIC) and the Schwarz Bayesian Criterion (BIC). However, according to the different information criteria, the results diverged on the effectiveness of including GT data as an exogenous variable.
