Empirical results have shown that: Real volatility as the standard, the order of Predictive ability is that the Markov switching model, ARFIMA model, GARCH model, EGARCH, FIEGARCH asymmetric GARCH model; historical volatility as the standard, the order of the predictive ability is that the GARCH model, Markov switching model, ARFIMA model; to sum up, Markov switching model is the best forecast model for three Hong Kong REITs.
