This paper assesses the sources of volatility persistence in Euro Area money market interest rates and the existence of … linkages relating volatility dynamics. The main findings of the study are as follows. Firstly, there is evidence of stationary … volatility processes. The first factor shows how persistent volatility shocks are trasmitted along the term structure, while the …

In this paper we develop a general framework to analyze state space models with time-varying system matrices where time variation is driven by the score of the conditional likelihood. We derive a new filter that allows for the simultaneous estimation of the state vector and of the time-varying...

We propose two new procedures for comparing the mean squared prediction error (MSPE) of a benchmark model to the MSPEs of a small set of alternative models that nest the benchmark. Our procedures compare the benchmark to all the alternative models simultaneously rather than sequentially, and do...
