Bitcoin Forecasting with Classical Time Series Models on Prices and Volatility ArXiv ID: 2511.06224 “View on arXiv” Authors: Anmar Kareem, Alexander Aue Abstract This paper evaluates the performance of classical time series models in forecasting Bitcoin prices, focusing on ARIMA, SARIMA, GARCH, and EGARCH. Daily price data from 2010 to 2020 were analyzed, with models trained on the first 90 percent and tested on the final 10 percent. Forecast accuracy was assessed using MAE, RMSE, AIC, and BIC. The results show that ARIMA provided the strongest forecasts for short-run log-price dynamics, while EGARCH offered the best fit for volatility by capturing asymmetry in responses to shocks. These findings suggest that despite Bitcoin’s extreme volatility, classical time series models remain valuable for short-run forecasting. The study contributes to understanding cryptocurrency predictability and sets the stage for future work integrating machine learning and macroeconomic variables. ...

Institutional Differences, Crisis Shocks, and Volatility Structure: A By-Window EGARCH/TGARCH Analysis of ASEAN Stock Markets ArXiv ID: 2510.16010 “View on arXiv” Authors: Junlin Yang Abstract This study examines how institutional differences and external crises shape volatility dynamics in emerging Asian stock markets. Using daily stock index returns for Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines from 2010 to 2024, we estimate EGARCH(1,1) and TGARCH(1,1) models in a by-window design. The sample is split into the 2013 Taper Tantrum, the 2020-2021 COVID-19 period, the 2022-2023 rate-hike cycle, and tranquil phases. Prior work typically studies a single market or a static period; to our knowledge no study unifies institutional comparison with multi-crisis dynamics within one GARCH framework. We address this gap and show that all three markets display strong volatility persistence and fat-tailed returns. During crises both persistence and asymmetry increase, while tail thickness rises, implying more frequent extreme moves. After crises, parameters revert toward pre-shock levels. Cross-country evidence indicates a buffering role of institutional maturity: Malaysias stronger regulatory and information systems dampen amplification and speed recovery, whereas the Philippines thinner market structure prolongs instability. We conclude that crises amplify volatility structures, while institutional robustness governs recovery speed. The results provide policy guidance on transparency, macroprudential communication, and liquidity support to reduce volatility persistence during global shocks. ...

Evaluating the resilience of ESG investments in European Markets during turmoil periods ArXiv ID: 2501.03269 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract This study investigates the resilience of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments during periods of financial instability, comparing them with traditional equity indices across major European markets-Germany, France, and Italy. Using daily returns from October 2021 to February 2024, the analysis explores the effects of key global disruptions such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict on market performance. A mixture of two generalised normal distributions (MGND) and EGARCH-in-mean models are used to identify periods of market turmoil and assess volatility dynamics. The findings indicate that during crises, ESG investments present higher volatility in Germany and Italy than in France. Despite some regional variations, ESG portfolios demonstrate greater resilience compared to traditional ones, offering potential risk mitigation during market shocks. These results underscore the importance of integrating ESG factors into long-term investment strategies, particularly in the face of unpredictable financial turmoil. ...

Liquidity Premium, Liquidity-Adjusted Return and Volatility, and Extreme Liquidity ArXiv ID: 2306.15807 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract We establish innovative liquidity premium measures, and construct liquidity-adjusted return and volatility to model assets with extreme liquidity, represented by a portfolio of selected crypto assets, and upon which we develop a set of liquidity-adjusted ARMA-GARCH/EGARCH models. We demonstrate that these models produce superior predictability at extreme liquidity to their traditional counterparts. We provide empirical support by comparing the performances of a series of Mean Variance portfolios. ...
