RT Generic T1 GARCH models with leverage effect : differences and similarities A1 Rodríguez, Mª José A1 Ruiz Ortega, Esther A2 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Departamento de Estadística, AB In this paper, we compare the statistical properties of some of the most popular GARCHmodels with leverage e?ect when their parameters satisfy the positivity, stationarity and nitefourth order moment restrictions. We show that the EGARCH speci cation is the most exiblewhile the GJR model may have important limitations when restricted to have nite kurtosis. Onthe other hand, we show empirically that the conditional standard deviations estimated by theTGARCH and EGARCH models are almost identical and very similar to those estimated by theAPARCH model. However, the estimates of the QGARCH and GJR models di?er among themand with respect to the other three speci cations.
