In econometrics, the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model is a statistical model for time series data that describes the variance of the current error term or innovation as a function of the actual sizes of the previous time periods' error terms; [1] often the variance is related to the squares of the previous innovations.

Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) is a statistical model used to analyze volatilityin time series in order to forecast future volatility. In the financial world, ARCH modeling is used to estimate risk by providing a model of volatility that more closely resembles real markets. ARCH modeling shows that periods of high volatility a...
The autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model was designed to improve econometric models by replacing assumptions of constant volatility with conditional volatility. Engle and others working on ARCH models recognized that past financial data influences future data—that is the definition of autoregressive. The conditional heterosked...
According to Engle's Nobel lecture in 2003, he developed ARCH in response to Milton Friedman's conjecture that it was the uncertainty about what the rate of inflation would be rather than the actual rate of inflation that negatively impacts an economy. Once the model was built, it proved to be invaluable for forecasting all manner of volatility. AR...
The generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model is a statistical tool used to analyze time-series data in which the error variance is thought to be autocorrelated over time. GARCH models assume that the variance of the error term follows a process based on an autoregressive moving average. The primary difference between ...
Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) is a statistical model for analyzing and forecasting volatility in times series, particularly in financial markets. ARCH models reveal that high volatility tends to follow high volatility and low volatility tends to follow low volatility, capturing the clustering of volatility in asset prices. Th...

An ARCH (autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic) model is a model for the variance of a time series. ARCH models are used to describe a changing, possibly volatile variance.
Apr 14, 2021 · Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity is a problem associated with the correlation of variances of the error terms. An ARCH(1) model is an AR(1) model with conditional heteroskedasticity. The error terms in an ARCH(1) model are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a variance of \(\text{a}_{0}+\text{a}_{1}\epsilon_{\text{t}-1}^{2}\).
ARCH and GARCH models have become important tools in the analysis of time series data, particularly in financial applications. These models are especially useful when the goal of the study is to analyze and forecast volatility. This paper gives the motivation behind the simplest GARCH model and illustrates its usefulness in examining portfolio ...

Aug 21, 2019 · Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity, or ARCH, is a method that explicitly models the change in variance over time in a time series. Specifically, an ARCH method models the variance at a time step as a function of the residual errors from a mean process (e.g. a zero mean).
ARCH models have been used to examine how information flows across countries, markets and assets, to develop optimal hedging strategies. In macroeconomics, ARCH techniques have been used to model the relationship between the time-varying conditional variance and the risk premia in the term structure of interest rates.
