Discrete time stochastic volatility models (hereafter SVOL) are noticeably harder to estimate than the successful ARCH …(volatilities/ parameters) and p(parameters). This hierarchy provides a natural environment for the construction of stochastic volatility models …, therefore, provides a general perspective on specification and implementation of stochastic volatility models. We apply various …

The growth rates of real output and real investment are two macroeconomic time series which are particularly difficult to forecast. This paper considers the application of diffusion index forecasting models to this problem. We begin by characterizing the performance of standard forecasts, via...

Using realized volatility to estimate daily conditional volatility of financial returns, we compare forecasts of daily … volatility from standard QML-estimated GARCH models, and from projections on past realized volatilities obtained from high … variance of daily returns treated as a daily volatility forecast, allowing us to estimate the maximum horizon at which the …

This paper compares the forecasting performance of different models which have been proposed for forecasting in the presence of structural breaks. These models differ in their treatment of the break process, the parameters defining the model which applies in each regime and the out-of-sample...

A well-documented property of the Beveridge-Nelson trend-cycle decomposition is the perfect negative correlation between trend and cycle innovations. We show how this may be consistent with a structural model where trend shocks enter the cycle, or cycle shocks enter the trend and that...

We test for the presence of time-varying parameters (TVP) in the long-run dynamics of energy prices for oil, natural gas and coal, within a standard class of mean-reverting models. We also propose residual-based diagnostic tests and examine out-of-sample forecasts. In-sample LR tests support the...

(2) The standard finding of little or no conditional mean dependence is entirely … consistent with a significant degree of sign dependence and volatility dependence. In particular, sign dependence does not imply …
