Jan 2, 1990 to Sep 11, 2026Model Insight
With persistence 0.999, volatility shocks have a half-life of 915 trading days (~3.6 years), close to a unit root, so long-run forecasts are highly sensitive to this estimate. The volatility power δ = 1.82 sits below 2, so large shocks influence volatility less than quadratically, a more outlier-robust response than standard GARCH.
Inverse leverage: Positive returns increase volatility 146% more than negative returns
