This paper shows how to estimate forecast uncertainty about future short-term interest rates by combining a time-varying Taylor rule with an unobserved components model of economic fundamentals. Using this model I separate interest rate uncertainty into economically meaningful components that...

Using real-time data I estimate out-of-sample forecast uncertainty about the Federal Funds Rate. Combining a Taylor rule with a model of economic fundamentals I disentangle economically interpretable components of forecast uncertainty: uncertainty about future economic conditions and uncertainty...

This paper introduces novel estimates of a time-varying firm and household economic uncertainty in a data-rich environment. Using forecasting models such as a dynamic factor model with time varying parameters instead of constant parameters would change the prediction errors and, in turn,...

We investigate whether recent linear and non-linear shrinkage methods help … to reduce the estimation risk in the asset return covariance matrix. Our findings indicate that modest improvements are …

Keeping in view that the roles of portfolio risk and the relationship between different risky lending assets in loan valuation have not been studied empirically, this study examines the relationship between undiversiable portfolio risk and portfolio lending with an attempt to fill the gap...

We study the macroeconomic consequences of financial shocks and increase in economic risk using a quantile vector autoregression. Financial shocks have a negative, but asymmetric impact on the real economy: they substantially increase growth at risk, but have limited impact on upside potential....
