We introduce a dynamic spatiotemporal volatility model that extends traditional approaches by incorporating spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal spillover effects, along with volatility-specific observed and latent factors. The model offers a more general network interpretation, making it applicable for studying various types of network spillovers. The primary innovation lies in incorporating volatility-specific latent factors into the dynamic spatiotemporal volatility model. Using Bayesian estimation via the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, the model offers a robust framework for analyzing the spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal effects of a log-squared outcome variable on its volatility. We recommend using the deviance information criterion (DIC) and a regularized Bayesian MCMC method to select the number of relevant factors in the model. The model's flexibility is demonstrated through two applications: a spatiotemporal model applied to the U.S. housing market and another applied to financial stock market networks, both highlighting the model's ability to capture varying degrees of interconnectedness. In both applications, we find strong spatial/network interactions with relatively stronger spillover effects in the stock market. |
