We introduce a new fractionally integrated model for covariance matrix dynamics based on the long-memory behavior of daily realized covariance matrix kernels and daily return observations. We account for fat tails in both types of data by appropriate distributional assumptions. The covariance...

We present a new model to decompose total daily return volatility into a filtered (high-frequency based) open …-to-close volatility and a time-varying scaling factor. We use score-driven dynamics based on fat-tailed distributions to limit the impact …-to-close volatility changes substantially through time, especially for financial stocks. …
