We introduce a dynamic Skellam model that measures stochastic volatility from high-frequency tick-by-tick discrete stock price changes. The likelihood function for our model is analytically intractable and requires Monte Carlo integration methods for its numerical evaluation. The proposed...

This paper proposes a novel time-series model with a non-stationary stochastic trend, locally explosive mixed causal non-causal dynamics and fat-tailed innovations. The model allows for a description of financial time-series that is consistent with financial theory, for a decomposition of the...

This paper introduces a novel dynamic factor model designed to capture common locally explosive episodes, also known as common bubbles, within large-dimensional, potentially non-stationary time series. The model leverages a lower-dimensional set of factors exhibiting locally explosive behavior...

This paper proposes a score-driven model for filtering time-varying causal parameters through the use of instrumental variables. In the presence of suitable instruments, we show that we can uncover dynamic causal relations between variables, even in the presence of regressor endogeneity which...

Point forecasts of score-driven models have been shown to behave at par with those of state-space models under a variety of circumstances. We show, however, that density rather than point forecasts of plain-vanilla score-driven models substantially underperform their state-space counterparts in...

An early development in testing for causality (technically, Granger non-causality) in the conditional variance (or … volatility) associated with financial returns, was the portmanteau statistic for non-causality in variance of Cheng and Ng (1996 …). A subsequent development was the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test of non-causality in the conditional variance by Hafner …

In this paper, we introduce two classes of indices which can be used to measure the market perception concerning the degree of dependency that exists between a set of random variables, representing different stock prices at a fixed future date. The construction of these measures is based on the...

Large data sets in finance with millions of observations have becomewidely available. Such data sets enable the construction of reliablesemi-parametric estimates of the risk associated with extreme pricemovements. Our approach is based on semi-parametric statisticalextreme value analysis, and...
