Previous research concerned with the investigation of intraday data has typically sought to model that data using techniques to control for intraday periodicity, has applied models of short-horizon and long-horizon dependencies, or has utilised intraday data in the construction of realised...

Purpose – In this paper weekly volatility forecasts are considered with applications to risk management; in particular hedge ratios and VaR calculations, with the aim of identifying the most appropriate model for risk management practice. Design/methodology/approach – The study considers a...

Reappraises the stylised facts of the contemporary UK business cycle and the robustness of associated sample moments to detrending under the Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filter and an unobserved components (UC) model based on the structural time series mode of Harvey and advocated in this context by...

This paper analyses the nature and extent of interdependence, and return and volatility spillovers, in three euro exchange rates, namely the US dollar, Japanese yen and British pound sterling. Using the realised variance method in order to avoid pitfalls inherent in the GARCH methodology, we...

This paper provides an analysis of intraday volatility using 5-min returns for Euro-Dollar, Euro-Sterling and Euro-Yen exchange rates, and therefore a new market setting. This includes a comparison of the performance of the Fourier flexible form (FFF) intraday volatility filter with an...

This paper investigates the dynamic, short-run response of Euro exchange rate returns to the information surprise of global macroeconomic announcements. In addition, it advocates a new approach to modelling intraday exchange rate volatility to allow accurate characterisation of reactions. US...
