  • hmm, U diddnt do anything with the just calcluated logaritme of the price changes in column H. shouldnt u calculate the standard deviations of the price changes in natural logarithm? instead of over the column C2

  • thats correct it was an error that someone pointed out a while ago I didnt remake the video for lack of time

  • forgot, you have just to call data on column H instead of C

  • what is the formula of the first step, its too blurry to see.

  • I think you mean the natural log, should be

    =LN(last day close/close of the day before)in the example of the excel is

    =LN(B2/B3)

see all

  • Your accent is WAY too thick.

    I can't understand a WORD you're saying!

  • thank you so much for your help..

  • no surprise on the project supervisor, when i study at the states my thesis tutor knowledge was far behind mine, extremely discouraging

  • look for 2 data series, in first world the stock market indexes and the references rates such as 5 or 10 years yields. The most important for emerging economies would be the EMBI+, take for example argentina, the political crisis of the farmers allow a 300% jump on the EMBI+. Your hypotesis is correct, you could construct a data series of those indexes and compare thorugh time the historical volatility to prove that increases on such events, and many times on advance of the event itself
