I am a university student trying to replicate the paper 'Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the United Kingdom, evidence from GARCH modelling' by A. Kontonikas and I am looking for guidance regarding my work on the GARCH models. Despite exploring various methods, I have encountered challenges in obtaining all the parameters outlined in the paper. In particular, while I have successfully obtained the parameters omega, alpha 1, and beta 1, there are additional parameters highlighted in the paper such as lambda1, lamda2 etc. (as per the attached screenshot) that I am struggling to incorporate into my GARCH model. I am uncertain about how to address this discrepancy and properly integrate the variance model into our framework.
Below, I have outlined the mean and variance equations, shared my initial code, and attached the relevant outputs. I have used a slightly different dataset from the paper.
Mean equations Conditional variance models Output in the paper with the parameters I am missing highlighted Dataframe with just variables used in the OLS model GARCH by using this dataframe containing, monthly OLS model variables, in the arch_model equation
I would be very grateful for any guidance on how I might obtain the parameters for the additional terms specified in the paper and the construction of the models. Many thanks.
