| contents | This paper introduces a unique and valuable research design aimed at analyzing Bitcoin price volatility. To achieve this, a range of models from the Markov Switching-GARCH and Stochastic Autoregressive Volatility (SARV) model classes are considered and their out-of-sample forecasting performance is thoroughly examined. The paper provides insights into the rationale behind the recommendation for a two-stage estimation approach, emphasizing the separate estimation of coefficients in the mean and variance equations. The results presented in this paper indicate that Stochastic Volatility models, particularly SARV models, outperform MS-GARCH models in forecasting Bitcoin price volatility. Moreover, the study suggests that in certain situations, persistent simple GARCH models may even outperform Markov-Switching GARCH models in predicting the variance of Bitcoin log returns. These findings offer valuable guidance for risk management experts, highlighting the potential advantages of SARV models in managing and forecasting Bitcoin price volatility. |
