Notes: (1) The Stock Market Index (SMI) series refer to the Financial Times Stock Exchange index 100 (FTSE100), the Hang-Seng
Index (HSI), the Nikkei 500 (NIKKEI), the Standards and Poors 500 index (S&P500). The daily sample over the period 4/1/1989 to
19/10/2001 yields T = 3338 observations. The series rt := logpt - log p t-1 represents the returns on each index. The change-point tests
are applied to the (rt)2 and ∣rt∣ transformations as well as (ut)2 where ut is the residual from the GARCH. (2) The Kokoszka and Leipus
(1998, 2000) reported max Uk∙ is the maximum of the statistic, Uk =( ɪ ∑k r2 - ɪ ɪ ∑T, r2 ) which is standardized by
' ' ' ‘ ∖, TT l=1 j ' TT l =k+1 lJ j
nonparametric estimators, Heteroskedastic Consistent (σHAC) and ARMA estimators (σARMA) of squared and absolute returns. The
normalized statistic max Uk∙ /σ converges to the sup of a Brownian Bridge. (3) The Inclan and Tiao (1994) statistic
Dk = (∑j=1 l∑j= 1 r2) - "r specified for iid processes normalized as IT = 1∕T/2 max(Dk ∣also converges to the sup of a Brownian
Bridge and is extended in Kim et al. (2000) for GARCH processes to be Bt(C) = CJT max|.Dk∣ where C2and κ are constants that are
estimated by substituting the quasi-MLEs of the GARCH(1,1) ω, Й, β and T-1 ∑j=1 r4 to ω, α, β and E(rj). (4) k* refers to the
location of the break and the * symbol attached to statistics denotes that the null hypothesis of no structural change is rejected using the
asymptotic critical value of 1.36.
