Abstract

In most of the literature in time series modeling, generalized autoregressive conditional heterosceasticity (GARCH) models has been used as a traditional model to forecast both the economic and financial time series data. Though literature has shown that it is not suitable for non-linear time series. For this reason, this model was augmented with bilinear model in order to make it more relevant in forecasting both economic and financial time series data. After the augmentation, the new model called Bilinear-GARCH (BL-GARCH) shows a better performance based on performance measures indices, models variances and out-of–samples forecast performances. In term of these three criteria the new models outperformed the traditional or classical GARCH model. To drive home this point, these two models were illustrated with Botswana inflation rates data. We observed that the new model (BL-GARCH) outperformed the classical GARCH model.
