TY - JOUR TT - Changes in the Unconditional Variance and Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity AU - Peiró, Amado PY - 2016 DA - September JF - International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues JO - IJEFI PB - İlhan ÖZTÜRK WT - DergiPark SN - 2146-4138 SP - 1338 EP - 1343 VL - 6 IS - 4 KW - Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity KW - Stock Returns KW - Unconditional Variance N2 - This paper argues that a simple white noise process with one jump in its unconditional variance may give rise to the presence of ARCH effects, and, surprisingly, this may occur in determinate circumstances even when the jump is very brief. Though ARCH effects are not denied, this evidence, together with some empirical results obtained from Standard & Poor’s 500 returns, allows one to question whether they are a general and regular property of so many economic and financial series.
