We use volatility impulse response analysis estimated from the bivariate GARCH-BEKK model to quantify the size and the persistence of different types of oil price shocks on stock return volatility and the covariance between oil price changes and stock returns for a wide range of net...

In dieser Untersuchung wird gezeigt, wie neuere ökonometrische Verfahren zur Modellierung und Prognose von Volatilitäten auf Aktienmärkten eingesetzt werden können. Hierzu werden verschiedene Varianten aus der Klasse der ARCH Modelle und das Markov-Mischungsmodell herangezogen. Die...

This paper compares alternative estimation procedures for multi-level factor models which imply blocks of zero restrictions on the associated matrix of factor loadings. We suggest a sequential least squares algorithm for minimizing the total sum of squared residuals and a two-step approach based...

Recent releases of X-13ARIMA-SEATS and JDemetra+ enable their users to choose between the non-parametric X-11 and the parametric ARIMA model-based approach to seasonal adjustment for any given time series without the necessity of switching between different software packages. To ease the...
