Abstract
⺠We model the volatility of the Chinese stock markets by a generalized additive nonparametric smoothing approach. ⺠We investigate the asymmetry effects of shocks in the Chinese stock markets volatility. ⺠An asymmetric effect of negative news exists in the Chinese stock markets. ⺠A minimum amount of good news is required for the Chinese markets to remain calm. ⺠The generalized additive nonparametric model significantly outperforms the parametric models for Chinese stock volatility forecasts.
