Jsou finanční výnosy a volatilita skutečně multifraktální?

Sedlaříková, Jana

Over the last decades, multifractality has become a downright stylized fact in financial markets. However, its presence has not been adequately statistically proved. The main aim of this thesis is to contribute to the discussion by an ex- tensive statistical analysis of the problem. We investigate returns and volatility of the collection of the four stock indices employing the three popular methods: the GHE, the MF-DFA, and the MF-DMA method. By comparing the results of the original series to those for simulated monofractal series, we conclude that stock market returns as well as volatility exhibit a multifractal nature. Additionally, in order to understand the origin of underlying multifractality, we study vari- ous surrogate series. We found that a fat-tailed distribution significantly affects multifractality. On the other, we were not able to confirm the impact of time correlations as the results strongly depend on the applied model.
