We introduce a Combined Density Nowcasting (CDN) approach to Dynamic Factor Models (DFM) that in a coherent way accounts for time-varying uncertainty of several model and data features in order to provide more accurate and complete density nowcasts. The combination weights are latent random...

Recently there has been renewed debate about the relative merits of VaR and CVaR as measures of financial risk. VaR is not coherent and does not quantify the risk beyond VaR, while CVaR shows some computational instabilities and is not 'elicitable' (Gneiting 2010, Ziegel 2013). It is argued in...

Surveying the forecasting practice of several central banks, we find that all these banks issue statements about risks to their macroeconomic forecasts. Often the balance of these risks is assessed as well. Upward [downward] risks to the forecast commonly imply that the outturn is expected to...

We propose a novel and easy-to-implement framework for forecasting correlation risks based on a large set of salient realized correlation features and the sparsity-encouraging LASSO technique. Considering the universe of S&P 500 stocks, we find that the new approach manifests in statistically...

We define risk spillover as the dependence of a given asset variance on the past covariances and variances of other assets. Building on this idea, we propose the use of a highly flexible and tractable model to forecast the volatility of an international equity portfolio. According to the risk...
