Detecting Multiple Breaks in Financial Market Volatility Dynamics



Table 4: Size, Power and Frequency Distribution of the number of change-points obtained
with the Kokoszka and Leipus
(2000) test when there are two breaks at 0.33T and 0.67T of the
sample in the GARCH process
.

Notes: The K&L test (see notes in Table 1) is applied following a sequential sample segmentation approach and the frequency
distribution of the change-points is reported. The highlighted numbers refer to the true number of breaks in the simulated process.
