Low frequency and weighted likelihood solutions for mixed frequency dynamic factor models

Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Mallee, Max I. P. - 2014

The multivariate analysis of a panel of economic and financial time series with mixed frequencies is a challenging problem. The standard solution is to analyze the mix of monthly and quarterly time series jointly by means of a multivariate dynamic model with a monthly time index: artificial...

Spillover dynamics for systemic risk measurement using spatial financial time series models

Blasques, Francisco; Koopman, Siem Jan; Lucas, André; … - 2014

We introduce a new model for time-varying spatial dependence. The model extends the well-known static spatial lag model. All parameters can be estimated conveniently by maximum likelihood. We establish the theoretical properties of the model and show that the maximum likelihood estimator for the...

Tourism stocks in times of crises : an econometric investigation of non-macro factors

Zopiatis, Anastasios; Savva, Christos S.; Lambertides, … - 2016

Following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the European media emphatically pronounced that billions of euros were wiped from tourism related stocks. This comes at a troublesome time for the tourism industry, in the midst of a global financial crisis, and the unpredictable rise of radical...

Testing for volatility co-movement in bivariate stochastic volatility models

Chen, Jinghui; Kobayashi, Masahito; McAleer, Michael - 2017 - Revised: February 2017

The paper considers the problem of volatility co-movement, namely as to whether two financial returns have perfectly correlated common volatility process, in the framework of multivariate stochastic volatility models and proposes a test which checks the volatility co-movement. The proposed test...

Tourism stocks in times of crises : an econometric investigation of unexpected non-macroeconomic factors

Zopiatis, Anastasios; Savva, Christos S.; Lambertides, … - 2017 - Revised: June 2017

Following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the European media emphatically pronounced that billions of Euros were wiped from tourism related stocks. The theoretical relationship of the industry with such unexpected non-macro incidents received moderate academic coverage. Nevertheless, the...

Testing for a common volatility process and information spillovers in bivariate financial time series models

Chen, Jinghui; Kobayashi, Masahito; McAleer, Michael - 2016 - Revised: February 2016

The paper considers the problem as to whether financial returns have a common volatility process in the framework of stochastic volatility models that were suggested by Harvey et al. (1994). We propose a stochastic volatility version of the ARCH test proposed by Engle and Susmel (1993), who...

The information in systemic risk rankings

Nucera, Federico; Schwaab, Bernd; Koopman, Siem Jan; … - 2015

We propose to pool alternative systemic risk rankings for financial institutions using the method of principal components. The resulting overall ranking is less affected by estimation uncertainty and model risk. We apply our methodology to disentangle the common signal and the idiosyncratic...

Measuring financial cycles in a model-based analysis : empirical evidence for the United States and the euro area

Galati, Gabriele; Hindrayanto, Irma; Koopman, Siem Jan; … - 2016

We adopt an unobserved components time series model to extract financial cycles for the United States and the five largest euro area countries over the period 1970 to 2014. We find that credit, the credit-to-GDP ratio and house prices have medium-term cycles which share a few common statistical...
