摘要：This paper attempts to derive careful interpretation of the parameter estimates from one of the multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (MGARCH) models, the full vector-half (VECH) model with asymmetric effects. We also consider and interpret the parameter estimates from a case study of US and Canadian equity index returns by applying this model. More specifically, we firstly inspect the model formula and derive general interpretation of the model parameters. We consider this is particularly useful for understanding not only the full VECH model structure but also similar MGARCH models. After the general considerations, we also interpret the case results that are derived from our application of the full VECH model to US and Canadian equity index returns. We consider that these concrete illustrations are also very helpful for future related research.
