Identifying time variability in stock and interest rate dependence
Stein, Michael; Islami, Mevlud; Lindemann, Jens - 2012
The correlation between stock markets and interest rates has been discussed in numerous studies in the past, with … which allow for time-variability and regime changes in correlation. All estimated models allowing for timevarying … correlation complement each other in identifying time-varying patterns found in the (co-)movement between the variables …

Inference on the maximal rank of time-varying covariance matrices using high-frequency data
Reiß, Markus; Winkelmann, Lars - 2021
We study the rank of the instantaneous or spot covariance matrix Σ(t) of a multidimensional continuous semi-martingale X(t). Given highfrequency observations X(i=n), i = 0; : : : ;n, we test the null hypothesis rank (Σ(t)) ≤ r for all t against local alternatives where the average (r + 1)st...

Lethal lapses : how a positive interest rate shock might stress German life insurers
Feodoria, Mark; Förstemann, Till - 2015
Life insurers typically grant policyholders a surrender option. We demonstrate that the resulting lapse risk could materialise in the form of a "policyholder run" if interest rates were to increase sharply. An inverse stress test based on a unique set of regulatory panel data suggests that...

Interest and credit risk management in German banks : evidence from a quantitative survey
Dräger, Vanessa; Heckmann-Draisbach, Lotta; Memmel, … - 2020
Using unique data of a survey among small and medium-sized German banks, we analyze various aspects of risk management over a short-term and medium-term horizon. We especially analyze the effect of a 200-bp increase in the interest level. We find that, in the first year, the impairments of...

Schmidhammer, Christoph; Hille, Vanessa; Wiedemann, Arnd - 2020
This paper analyses theperformance ofmaturity transformation strategiesduring a period of high and low interest rates. Based on German government bond yieldsfrom September 1972 to May 2019,we construct a rolling window of bond ladders where long-term assets are financed by short-term...
