Statistical method to estimate regime-switching Lévy model

Stephane GOUTTE, Julien CHEVALLIER

A regime-switching Lévy model combines jump-diffusion under the form of a Lévy process, and Markov regime-switching where all parameters depend on the value of a continuous time Markov chain. We start by giving general stochastic results. Estimation is performed following a two-step procedure. The EM-algorithm is extended to this new class of jump-diffusion regime-switching models. An empirical application is dedicated to the study of Asian equity markets.
