Sector Volatility Prediction Performance Using GARCH Models and Artificial Neural Networks

MSc Quantitative Finance Dissertation 2020

This repository contains the code developed for my MSc Dissertation.

The Data

The data is retrieved from the Kenneth R. French data library (1). The dataset contains all U.S stocks, sorted into five sectors by SIC code. The datasets I have used in this study are provided in the 'Data' folder. The folder contains the original dataset and a summary of the dataset, and each specific has been extracted to its own file.

The Code

The thesis paper uses six Jupyter notebooks that were developed for this project. Three GARCH specifications and three ANN architectures are considered with one notebook for each.

The ANN notebooks are comprised of one notebook per architecture (5,1,1), (5,12,1), and (5,50,1).

The GARCH notebooks are comprised of one notebook for the GARCH(p,q), GARCH(1,1), and EGARCH(p,q) model.

How to use

Each notebook is commented throughout to guide reproducibility. The data in this repository needs to be placed in a local directory, then the code needs to be changed to point to that directory. The script should then read in the data and follow the same computations in this study.

To replicate the conda environment used to develop and run the code, see the tensorflowML.yml file in the repository. This contains all Python packages used and their corresponding versions. This yml file can be directly imported into Conda to reproduce the environment used in this study.

References

Many thanks to those who provided resources and prior work to leverage in my notebooks and scripts. More specific referencing is completed in each notebook.
