GARCH alternatives has been shown <strong>in</strong> Kyrtsou and Terraza (2003) and Kyrtsou<br />

and Karanasos (2006).<br />

Asymmetric response to shocks is made explicit <strong>in</strong> Nelson’s (1991) Exponential<br />

GARCH (EGARCH) model. It allows volatility to respond more rapidly to falls <strong>in</strong><br />

the market than to correspond<strong>in</strong>g rises which is an important stylized fact for<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial assets and is known as leverage effect. We employ EGARCH model to<br />

test the robustness of leveraged effect captured <strong>in</strong> Koutmos verson of SSW-<br />

GARCH model. The estimated results are reported <strong>in</strong> Table 5 ,<br />
