Estimating the Wishart Affine Stochastic Correlation Model using the empirical characteristic function
This paper provides the first estimation strategy for the Wishart Affine Stochastic Correlation (WASC) model. We provide elements showing that the use of empirical characteristic function-based estimates is advisable as this function is exponential affine in the WASC case. We use a GMM estimation strategy with a continuum of moment conditions based on the characteristic function. We present the estimation results obtained using a dataset of equity indexes. The WASC model captures most of the known stylized facts associated with financial markets, including leverage and asymmetric correlation effects.
