Seven symmerc and fve asymmerc models were consdered by ncororang an ndcaor varable n he varance euaon o monor he changes of some seleced Ngeran nsurance socks. The resuls showed ha he daly reurns were saonary bu no normally dsrbued and egh ou of en socks consdered for he sudy showed evdence of ARCH effec. The erformance of he dfferen models was evaluaed usng he RMSE, MAE and MAPE. The model ARCH () roved o be he mos suable among he welve comeng volaly models consdered. When he regme changes are ncororaed no he model, s found ha he hghly erssen volaly of he nsurance sock reurn rae s reduced for mos of he socks. Keywords Volaly, Heeroscedascy, Roo Mean Suare Error, Indcaor varable. Inroducon Dummy varables are varables ha can ake any values. They may be exlanaory or oucome varables; however, he focus of hs sudy s exlanaory dummy varable consrucon and usage. Tycally, dummy varables are used n he followng alcaons: me seres analyss wh seasonaly or regme swchng; analyss of ualave daa, such as survey resonses. Some scholars have argued based on sascal analyss of me seres ha ceran henomena do no corresond o regme shfs, [9]. Oulers, level shfs, and varance changes are common n aled me seres analyss. However, her exsence s ofen gnored and her mac s overlooked, for he lack of smle and useful mehods o deec and handle hose exraordnary evens. The roblem of deecng level shfs, and varance changes n a unvarae me seres s consdered. Three dfferen yes of regme shf (smooh, abru and dsconnuous) are denfed on he bass of dfferen aerns n he relaonsh beween he resonses. The smooh regme shfs s reresened by a uas-lnear relaonsh beween he resonse and conrol varables. The abru regme shf exhbs a nonlnear relaonsh beween he resonse and conrol varables, and he dsconnuous regme shf s characerzed by he raecory of he resonse varable dfferng when he forcng varable ncreases comared o when decreases see [5]. * Corresondng auhor: abuagboola@gmal.com (A.

[3] showed ha a GARCH model wh a small number of erms may be more effcen han an ARCH model wh many erms. Emrcal sudes n recen years have focused on volaly nvesgaon on he aern of fnancal asses such as ARCH effec, volaly cluserng, and erssence and leverage effec. For examle, [3], [8], [4], []. The use of dummy varables reures he moson of addonal consrans on he arameers of regresson euaons o oban esmaes for he model. Among he ossble consrans he mos useful are (a) o se he consan erm of he euaon o zero, or (b) o om one of he dummy varables from he euaon. In economercs me seres analyss, dummy varables may be used o ndcae he occurrence of wars or maor srkes. Dummy varables are used freuenly n me seres analyss wh regme swchng, seasonal analyss and ualave daa alcaons see [5]. Dummy varables are nvolved n sudes for economc forecasng, bo-medcal sudes, cred scorng, resonse modellng, ec. [] used dummy varable o comare he year nernally generaed revenue (IGR) and wage blls of he sx geoolcal zones n Ngera by caegorzng he geoolcal zones as dummy varables n a regresson model o fnd ou f he average nernally generaed revenue and wage blls of he geoolcal zone are sascally dfferen from each oher. From hs analyss, he concluded ha he norheas and norhwes zones are sascally dfferen. [9] used GARCH models wh dummes o sudy he mac of U.S moneary olcy on nflaon. From he analyss, he concluded ha he mac of U.S moneary olcy on nflaon s negave bu no sgnfcan on he arameer of he dummy varable he arameer. Sock reurn volaly reresens he varably of sock rce changes durng a erod of me. Ths henomenon has araced growng aenon of academa, olcy makers and oher layers n hs secor. Ths s because reurn s a maor measure of rsk assocaed wh asse nsead of rce because f you wan an nvesmen ha gves % of your reurn you nves on han n rce.e. s much beer o deal wh reurn han rce. Also, hgh volaly n socks, bonds and foregn exchange markes usually rase from moran ublc olcy ssues abou sably of fnancal marke and mac of sock volaly on he economy canno be sub esmaed. [7] used volaly o model four Ngeran frms lsed on he Ngeran Sock Exchange. [6] also conduced anoher sudy whch focused on he mac of he 5 recaalzaon of he bankng and nsurance ndusry on he sock marke. [6] carred ou a research on modellng and forecasng daly reurns of Ngeran nsurance sock usng [7] roosed model and [4] o esmae suable models n, from he sudy he researcher concluded ha he exonenal generalzed auoregressve condonal heeroscedasc (EGARCH) models s more suable n modellng sock rce reurns as ouerforms he oher models n goodness of f and ou-of-samle volaly forecasng. 3.

The models are, ARCH(),,, GARCH(, ), GARCH(, ), GARCH(, ) E GARCH (, ), EGARCH (, ), EGARCH (, ), EGARCH (, ) and TARCH(, ). In each model we ncororaed dummes varables.
