Abstract

This paper aims to explore the best forecasting model for predicting the Credit Default Swap (CDS) index spreads in emerging markets Asia by comparing the forecasting performance between the multi-regime models. We apply threshold, Markov switching, Markov switching GARCH and simple least squares for structural and autoregressive modeling. Both in- and out-of-sample forecasts are conducted to compare the forecasting performance between models. The results suggest that Markov switching GARCH(1,1) structural model presents the best performance in predicting Asian Credit Default Swap (CDS) index spreads. We also check the preciseness of our selected model by employing the robustness test.
