We compare the performance of popular covariance forecasting models in the context of a portfolio of major European equity indices. We find that models based on high-frequency data offer a clear advantage in terms of statistical accuracy. They also yield more theoretically consistent predictions...

This study predicts stock market volatility and applies them to the standard problem in finance, namely, asset allocation. Based on machine learning and model averaging approaches, we integrate the drivers’ predictive information to forecast market volatilities. Using various evaluation...

We study whether prices of traded options contain information about future extreme market events. Our option-implied conditional expectation of market loss due to tail events, or tail loss measure, predicts future market returns, magnitude, and probability of the market crashes, beyond and above...

Most papers in the portfolio choice literature have examined linear predictability frameworks based on the idea that simple but flexible Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models can be expanded to produce portfolio allocations that hedge against the bull and bear dynamics typical of financial markets...

The objective of this work is to assess and forecast the volatilities of prices on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. The ARCH family (ARCH, GARCH, TGARCH, EGARCH and PGARCH) and ARIMA models are used to assess and forecast volatilities in prices on the Nigeria stock market. The EGARCH model is found...

We study equity premium out-of-sample predictability by extracting the information contained in a high number of macroeconomic predictors via large dimensional factor models. We compare the well known factor model with a static representation of the common components with a more general model...

We consider the problem of ex-ante forecasting conditional correlation patterns using ultra high frequency data … correlation matrices and exogenous factors. The Fisher-z transformation guarantees robustness of correlation estimators under … prominent parametric and nonparametric alternatives to correlation modeling. Based on economic performance criteria, we …

It is well known that the correlation between financial series varies over time. Here, the forecasting performance of … different time-varying correlation models is compared for cross-country correlations of weekly G5 and daily European stock … market indices. In contrast to previous studies only the correlation and not the entire covariance matrix is forecasted and …
