Intro to Mathematical Economics
The ARCH model, or Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model, is a statistical model used to analyze and forecast time series data that exhibit changing variances over time. It captures the tendency of financial time series to display volatility clustering, where periods of high volatility are followed by high volatility and periods of low volatility are followed by low volatility. This model is particularly useful in finance for understanding and predicting asset returns, enabling better risk management and decision-making.
