In this paper we propose a new multivariate GARCH model with time- varying correlations. We adopt the vech representation based on the conditional variances and the conditional correlations. While each conditional-variance term is assumed to follow a univariate GARCH formulation, the...

The evolution of volatility and correlation patterns of the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and the Singapore dollar (SGD) are analyzed in this paper. Our approach can simultaneously capture the empirical regularities of persistent and asymmetric effects in volatility and time-varying correlations of...

In this paper, we analyse the conditional variance of the Australian real gross domestic product (GDP) and the expenditure components by a variety of generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models. First, we test the plausibility of the constant-correlation assumption...

The evolution of volatility and correlation patterns of the Malaysian ringgit and the Singapore dollar are analyzed in this paper. Our approach can simultaneously capture the empirical regularities of persistent and asymmetric effects in volatility and time-varying correlations of financial time...

This paper examines the dynamic relationship between firm-level return volatility and public news sentiment. By using the new RavenPack News Analytics – Dow Jones Edition database that captures over 1200 types of firm-specific and macroeconomic news releases and their sentiment scores at high...

Most empirical investigations of the business cycles in the United States have excluded the dimension of asymmetric conditional volatility. This paper analyses the volatility dynamics of the US business cycle by comparing the performance of various multivariate generalised autoregressive...
