Abstract

The applicability is explored of using ARCH/GARCH models to investigate Australian financial futures data. The extent to which the parameters of the models change over time is examined through analysing the data contract by contract. The results do vary over time and simple models such as the ARCH(1) model provide a reasonably good fit to the data.
