摘要
We modify the GARCH-MIDAS model by introducing a skewed T-distribution and employ it to study the impact of economic policy uncertainties on the volatility of China's financial stocks between 2000-2019. The modified model improves the fit to the data compared to the standard model with a Gaussian distribution. We find that economic policy uncertainties worldwide and in the European Union, Japan, Russia, Brazil, Canada, and China are negatively correlated with the long-term component of volatility of China's financial stocks. The heightened uncertainty in the US economic policy since 2017 has had a negative impact on the volatility of China's financial stocks.
