Multivariate time varying volatility models have attracted a lot of attention in modern finance theory. We provide an empirical study of some multivariate ARCH and GARCH models that already exist in the literature and have attracted a lot of practical interest. Bayesian and classical techniques...

A new multivariate time series model with time varying conditional variances and covariances is presented and analysed. A complete analysis of the proposed model is presented consisting of parameter estimation, model selection and volatility prediction. Classical and Bayesian techniques are used...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is suggested to compare unit root models with stationary models when both the level and the error variance are subject to structural changes (known as breaks) of an unknown date. The paper utilizes analytic and Monte Carlo integration techniques for calculating...
