(2014) in order to relax the condition on the data structure required for the SUR estimator to be independent from unknown … quantities. It turns out that the SUR estimator of forecast uncertainty tends to deliver large efficiency gains compared to the … OLS estimator (i.e. the sample mean of the squared forecast errors) in the case of increased forecast horizons. The SUR …

Sign-restricted Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs) are increasingly common. However, they usually result in a set of structural parameters that have very different implications in terms of impulse responses, elasticities, historical decomposition and forecast error variance decomposition...

The use of Markov processes (or Markov chains) has become widespread in dynamic stochastic modeling. For example, its use is ubiquitous in macroeconomics (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium), finance (dynamic asset pricing), and areas of microeconomics (dynamic programming). As we discuss...

We address the issue of modelling and forecasting macroeconomic variables using rich datasets by adopting the class of Vector Autoregressive Moving Average (VARMA) models. We overcome the estimation issue that arises with this class of models by implementing an iterative ordinary least squares...

This paper introduces a unified multivariate overnight GARCH-Ito model for volatility matrix estimation and prediction both in the low- and high-dimensional set-up. To account for whole-day market dynamics in the financial market, the proposed model has two different instantaneous volatility...

Financial analysts typically estimate volatilities and correlations from monthly or higher frequency returns when determining the optimal composition of a portfolio. Although it is widely acknowledged that these measures are not necessarily stationary across samples, most analysts assume...

The Sharpe ratio is the most widely used metric for comparing performance across investment managers and strategies, and the information ratio is as commonly used to evaluate performance relative to a benchmark. Although it is widely recognized that non-linearities arising from the inclusion of...
