Resumo: This paper presents a comparative study of the predictive capacity of the models EWMA, GARCH (1,1) EGARCH (1,1) and TARCH (1,1) when applied to forecast the volatility of the exchange rates in the Brazilian inter-bank market. The sample consists of the daily closing quotations of the exchange rate real/US dollar obtained in the period from August 20, 2001 to September 30, 2003. The results showed that the TARCH (1,1) model, provided the most accurate forecast performance for this period, followed closely by the EGARCH (1,1) model, then the GARCH (1,1) model, and finally the EWMA model. There was also evidence that all the models revealed a tendency to overestimate the future volatility. It was confirmed as well that the Brazilian Exchange Clearinghouse operates in an extremely traditional and subjective way concerning the definition of the exchange rate variation indexes guaranteed under contract and, consequently, in collateral requirements.

A amostra é composta pelas cotações diárias de fechamento da taxa de câmbio real/dólar estadunidense observadas no período de 20 de agosto de 2001 a 30 de setembro de 2003. Os resultados demonstraram que o modelo TARCH (1,1) apresentou o melhor desempenho preditivo para o período, acompanhado de perto pelo modelo EGARCH (1,1), seguindo-se o modelo GARCH (1,1) e, por último, o modelo EWMA. Constatou-se também que todos os modelos revelaram uma propensão a superestimar a volatilidade futura, e que a Clearing de Câmbio da BM&F atua de forma excessivamente conservadora e subjetiva na definição dos índices de variação da taxa de câmbio contratualmente garantidos e, conseqüentemente, na exigência de garantias.RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas RAE - Revista de Administração de EmpresasRAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/rae/article/view/37336RAE - Revista de Administracao de Empresas ; Vol. 45 (2005): Edição especial Minas Gerais; 86-101RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas; Vol. 45 (2005): Edição especial Minas Gerais; 86-101RAE-Revista de Administração de Empresas; v. 45 (2005): Edição especial Minas Gerais; 86-1012178-938X0034-7590reponame:Revista de Administração de Empresasinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://bibliotecadigital.fgv.br/ojs/index.php/rae/article/view/37336/36098Goulart, Clayton PeixotoAmaral, Hudson FernandesBertucci, Luiz AlbertoBressan, Aureliano Angelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-08-17T18:44:23Zoai:bibliotecadigital.fgv.br:article/37336Revistahttps://rae.fgv.br/raeONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phprae@fgv.br||ilda.fontes@fgv.br||raeredacao@fgv.br2178-938X0034-7590opendoar:2016-08-17T18:44:23Revista de Administração de Empresas - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
