Any time series can be decomposed into cyclical components fluctuating at different frequencies. Accordingly, in this paper we propose a method to forecast the stock market's equity premium which exploits the frequency relationship between the equity premium and several predictor variables. We...

This paper proposes a latent dynamic factor model for low- as well as high-dimensional realized covariance matrices of stock returns. The approach is based on the matrix logarithm and allows for flexible dynamic dependence patterns by combining common latent factors driven by HAR dynamics and...

We use a Panel Smooth Transition Regression (STR) model to study nonlinearities in the expectationformation process in the US stock market. To this end, we use data from the Livingston survey to investigate how the importance of regressive and extrapolative expectations fluctuates over time as...

Even in large equity markets, the dividend-price ratio is significantly related with the growth of future dividends. In order to uncover this relationship, we use monthly dividends and a mixed data sampling technique which allows us to cope with within-year seasonality. We reduce the effect of...

This paper investigates the performance of a factor-augmented regression (FAR) model with a mixture of stationary and nonstationary factors in stock return prediction. For comparison purpose, we also consider a traditional FAR model with only stationary factors. In an application with a dataset...

In this paper we focus on analyzing the predictive accuracy of three different types of forecasting techniques, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA), used for predicting chaotic time series data. These techniques...

This paper examines how the size of the rolling window, and the frequency used in moving average (MA) trading strategies, affects financial performance when risk is measured. We use the MA rule for market timing, that is, for when to buy stocks and when to shift to the risk-free rate. The...

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of stock return predictability in the Indian stock market by employing both the portfolio and cross-sectional regressions methods using the data from January 1994 and ending in December 2018. We find strong predictive power of size, cash-flow-to-price...

This article studies the risk forecasting properties of three realized volatility models for three Chinese individual stocks, and reveals the important role that jumps can play in risk prediction. I firstly investigate dynamic pattern of jumps in three Chinese stocks, and find that relative to...
