경기변동을 고려한 주식수익률과 변동성 관계의 변화 1 金 融 硏 究 ||||||| Journal of Money and Finance | Vol.23 | No. 2 | 2009. 6 1) 경기변동을 고려한 주식수익률과 변동성 관계의 변화 : 비대칭 GARCH 모형을 이용하여 김세완 * 국문초록 본 연구에서는 우리나라 주식시장의 세 가지 관련된 현상이 논의된다. , 주식의 변동성과 주식 의 초과수익률(risk premium)간의 관계, 투자자의 위험회피도(risk averseness), 그리고 비대칭 변 동성(asymmetric volatility)이 각각 경기변동에 따라 어떻게 변화하는지 계량적으로 연구되어진다. 이를 위하여, 주식시장의 위험과 주식 초과수익률간의 관계가 EGARCH-M 모형을 이용하여 추정 되어진 후, 경기변동 더미변수를 이용하여 경기변화의 효과를 살펴보게 된다. 추정결과에 따르면 주식 투자자의 위험회피도는 경기에 의존적이며, 유의하게 경기선행적으로 나타났다. 또한 비대칭 변동성은 호황이 시작되기 직전의 기간에 약화되는 것으로 추정되었다. 핵심단어 : 주식수익률, 비대칭적 변동성, 위험회피, 경기변동 JEL 분류기호 : C32, E32, G12 . 서론 위험회피계수(risk averseness parameter)로 요약되는 주식시장의 위험(또는 변동성)주식 초과 수익률(risk premium = 주식의 수익률-안전자산의 수익률)간의 관계에 대한 연구 CAPM(capital asset pricing model)을 비롯한 다양한 자산 가격 결정 이론(asset pricing * 이화여자대학교 경제학과(Tel : 02-3277-4467, E-mail : [email protected])

Stock Returns and Its Volatility under Business Cycles Changes :

Using Asymmetric GARCH Model

Sei-Wan Kim*

We study how three interrelated phenomena-excess stock returns

and risk relation, risk aversion, and asymmetric volatility movement-

change over business cycles in Korean stock market. In a single framework

of asymmetric GARCH in mean models, we significantly find that the risk

averseness in Korean stock market is dependent on the business cycle and

it increases before the boom periods start (i.e., precyclical risk aversion).

And also the asymmetric volatility is weakened before the boom periods

start.

In Korean stock market, while there is a general agreement about

the trade-off between risk and expected return for cross-sectional secur-

ities within a given time period, there seems to be no such an agreement

about the relation between risk and return over time. There is an extensive

empirical literature that has tried to establish the existence of such an

intertemporal tradeoff between risk and return for stock market indices.

Unfortunately, the results have been inconclusive. Related to this, recently

it has been debated whether risk aversion is state-dependent and whether

it is pro-cyclical or counter-cyclical.

In this paper, we have explored these issues using an empirical model.

We have employed a representative asymmetric GARCH-M model allowing

for potential business cycle effects to examine a time-varying inter-

temporal relation between excess return and risk using a series of business

cycle dummy variables.

Given our finding of a time-varying risk-return relation over busi-

ness cycles, we have attempted to infer its implication for time-varying

risk aversion over the business cycles.

Our findings can be summarized as follows. First, in the simple

GARCH models without allowing for the business cycle effect, the risk pre-

mium coefficient does not show any clear and significant relation between

risk and excess return in Korean stock market over 1995 to 2008 period.

Even though we allow for a business cycle factor (boom and recession),

the risk premium coefficient is still insignificantly changed between the

boom and recession periods. This result is quite consistent over previous

studies about Korean stock market.

However the risk premium coefficient significantly increases in the

3-month before the boom start period. Since the coefficient of volatility

in the excess mean return equation is usually characterized as measuring

the time-varying risk aversion parameter [e.g., Merton (1980)], our finding

suggests increased risk aversion in the 3-month before the boom start

period or a precyclical movement of risk aversion.

Secondly, we find that the asymmetric movement of volatility is also

state-dependent, and the intensity of it changes over business cycles.

Specifically, we find that asymmetric volatility is weakened significantly

in the 3-month before the boom start period.

Our finding of state-dependent and procyclical risk aversion helps

us understand not only the larger risk premium for a given risk in the

3-month before the boom start period but also weakened asymmetric vola-

tility during the 3-month before the boom start period, in particular by

extending Campbell and Hentschels (1992) argument, both of which are

observed based on GARCH-M models with business cycle dummies. Regard-

ing the asymmetric volatility movement, Black (1976) argues that it could

be due to an increase in leverage that occurs when the market value of

a firm declines.

However, we find that investors are strongly risk-averse during the

3-month before the boom start period. As such, investors become more

sensitive to the leverage effect, and the leverage effect hypothesis antici-

pates that asymmetric volatility will get stronger in the 3-month before

the boom start period. This prediction is not easily compatible with our

finding of weakened asymmetric volatility during the 3-month before the

boom start period.
