Bayesian estimation of NIG-parameters by Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

Lillestøl, Jostein - 2000 - Rev.

The Normal Inverse Gaussian (NIG) distribution recently introduced by Barndorff-Nielsen (1997) is a promising alternative for modelling financial data exhibiting skewness and fat tails. In this paper we explore the Bayesian estimation of NIG-parameters by Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods. --...

The response of long-term interest rates to news about monetary policy actions : empirical evidence for the US and Germany

Nautz, Dieter; Wolters, Jürgen - 1998

We reexamine the expectations theory of the term structure focusing on the question how monetary policy actions indicated by changes in the very short rate affect long-term interest rates. Our main point is that the expectations hypothesis implies that very long rates should only react to...

Flexible stochastic volatility structures for high frequency financial data

Feldmann, David; Härdle, Wolfgang; Hafner, Christian M.; … - 1998

Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are widely used in financial applications. To decide whether standard parametric restrictions are justified for a given dataset, a statistical test is required. In this paper, we develop such a test based on the linear state space representation. We provide a...
