Electricity price forecasting has become an area of increasing relevance in recent years. Despite the growing interest in predictive algorithms, the challenges are difficult to overcome given the restricted access to relevant data series and the lack of accurate metrics. Multiple models have...

In this paper, we study the methods of combining different volatility forecasts using various GARCH models. Given that the major risk exposure for many investors in energy is the volatility of the electricity price, our motivation stems from the fact that there is no single best model for...

Electricity demand is modeled as a time-varying parameters (TVP) vector autoegression with or without imposing cointegration. The paper applies Bayesian strategies where all or a part of the parameters are allowed to vary, and compares their forecasts performances with alternative time series...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a dynamic Value at Risk model and high frequency realized volatility models can improve the accuracy of 1-day ahead VaR forecasting beyond the performance of frequently used models. As such, this paper constructs 60 conditional volatility...

This paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for prediction and nowcasting with panel data consisting of series sampled at different frequencies. Motivated by the empirical problem of predicting corporate earnings for a large cross-section of firms with macroeconomic, financial,...

We propose a novel approach to modelling structural changes in asset returns correlations. Our framework allows for breaks of different type in the conditional and unconditional correlation components by capturing abrupt regime switches in the short-run correlations and smooth transitions...

This paper introduces a parsimonious and yet flexible semiparametric model to forecast financial volatility. The new model extends the linear nonnegative autoregressive model of Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2001) and Nielsen and Shephard (2003) by way of a power transformation. It is...

Prediction of future movement of stock prices has been a subject matter of many research work. There is a gamut of literature of technical analysis of stock prices where the objective is to identify patterns in stock price movements and derive profit from it. Improving the prediction accuracy...
