[i] Notes: In the table, white fields refer to the EWS-GARCH models, while grey fields to the benchmark models.

[ii] In the table, the following abbreviations are used: SFM – the state forecasting model, TSVM – the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in the state of tranquillity, TUSVM – the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in a state of turbulence, EN – the average number of exceedances, ER – the average excess ratio, ABAD – the average value of the Abad & Benito cost function, LOPEZ – the average value of the Lopez cost function, CAPORIN – the average value of the Caporin cost function, EXCOST – the average value of the excessive cost function, GREEN – the average frequency of a model being in the green zone, AT LEAST YELLOW – the average frequency of a model being at least in the yellow zone, RED – the average frequency of a model being in the red zone. In the states forecasting model abbreviation SEL means that stepwise selection process was used.

[iii] Short names of Value-at-Risk models in the state of turbulence are in the form DRQ_CP, where the DR defines a distribution of returns, Q defines the quantile for which Value-at-Risk was forecasted and CP defines the cut-off point that was used to forecast the state of turbulence in the states forecasting model. For the distributions in the state of turbulence following abbreviations are used: EX − exponential distribution, EM − empirical distribution; Q equal to 9 represents the 99th percentile, 0 represents the 90th percentile, and 8 represents the 80th percentile; 5% cut-off is denoted by 5 and the cut-off point equal to 10% by 10.

[i] Notes: In the table, white fields refer to the EWS-GARCH models, while grey fields to benchmark the models.

[ii] In the table, the following abbreviations are used: SFM – the state forecasting model, TSVM – the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in a state of tranquillity, TUSVM − the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in a state of turbulence, LRUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the Kupiec test, LRIND − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the LRIND part of the Christofferssen test, LRCC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the Christofferssen test, ZUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage, ZDUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage in favour of alternative hypothesis that the actual excess ratio is significantly lower than expected, ZGUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage in favour of an alternative hypothesis that the actual excess ratio is significantly higher than expected. All tests were performed for the 5% significance level, except the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage, where level of significance was set up to 10% (5% for each tail).

[iii] Short names of the Value-at-Risk models in the state of turbulence are in the form DRQ_CP, where the DR defines a distribution of returns, Q defines the quantile for which Value-at-Risk was forecasted and CP defines the cut-off point that was used to forecast the state of turbulence in the states forecasting model.

[i] Notes: In the table, white fields refer to the EWS-GARCH models, while grey fields to benchmark the models

[ii] In the table the following abbreviations are used: SFM – the state forecasting model, TSVM – the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in the state of tranquillity, TUSVM − the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in a state of turbulence, EN − the average number of exceedances, ER – the average excess ratio, ABAD − the average value of the Abad & Benito cost function, LOPEZ − the average value of the Lopez cost function, CAPORIN − the average value of the Caporin cost function, EXCOST − the average value of the excessive cost function, GREEN – the average frequency of a model being in the green zone, AT LEAST YELLOW – the average frequency of a model being at least in the yellow zone, RED – the average frequency of a model being in the red zone. In the states forecasting model abbreviation SEL means that stepwise selection process was used.

[iii] Short names of the Value-at-Risk models in the state of turbulence are in the form DRQ_CP, where the DR defines a distribution of returns, Q defines the quantile for which Value-at-Risk was forecasted and CP defines the cut-off point that was used to forecast the state of turbulence in the states forecasting model. For the distributions in the state of turbulence following abbreviations are used: EX − exponential distribution, EM − empirical distribution; Q equal to 9 represents the 99th percentile, 0 represents the 90th percentile, and 8 represents the 80th percentile; 5% cut-off is denoted by 5 and the cut-off point equal to 10% by 10.

[ii] In the table, the following abbreviations are used: SFM – the state forecasting model, TSVM – the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in the state of tranquillity, TUSVM − the Value-at-Risk forecasting model in a state of turbulence, LRUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the Kupiec test, LRIND − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the LRIND part of the Christofferssen test, LRCC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the Christofferssen test, ZUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage, ZDUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage in favour of alternative hypothesis that the actual excess ratio is significantly lower than expected, ZGUC − the ratio of cases in which the null hypothesis was rejected in the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage in favour of an alternative hypothesis that the actual excess ratio is significantly higher than expected. All tests were performed for the 5% significance level, except the asymptotic test of unconditional coverage, where level of significance was set up to 10% (5% for each tail).

[iii] Short names of the Value-at-Risk models in the state of turbulence are in the form DRQ_CP, where the DR defines a distribution of returns, Q defines the quantile for which Value-at-Risk was forecasted and CP defines the cut-off point that was used to forecast the state of turbulence in the states forecasting model.
