Numerous tests designed to detect realized jumps over a fixed time span have been proposed and extensively studied in the financial econometrics literature. These tests differ from 'long time span tests' that detect jumps by examining the magnitude of the jump intensity parameter in the data...

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a shrinkage based methodology that is designed to improve the accuracy of forecasts of daily integrated volatility. Our approach is based on a two-step shrinkage procedure designed to extract latent common volatility factors from a large dimensional and...

The development of new tests and methods used in the evaluation of time series forecasts and forecasting models remains as important today as it has for the last 50 years. Paraphrasing what Sir Clive W.J. Granger (arguably the father of modern day time series forecasting) said in the 1990s at a...

In this paper, we use factor-augmented HAR-type models to predict the daily integrated volatility of asset returns. Our approach is based on a proposed two-step dimension reduction procedure designed to extract latent common volatility factors from a large dimensional and high-frequency returns...
