Abstract
⺠This research analyses the effects of outliers on estimated GARCH volatilities. ⺠Volatilities can be overestimated even when only one large outlier is present. ⺠Overestimation affects not only the instant when the outlier appears but all periods. ⺠Robust methods reduce the biases associated with estimated volatilities.
