In this study we combine clustering techniques with a moving window algorithm in order to filter financial market data outliers. We apply the algorithm to a set of financial market data which consists of 25 series selected from a larger dataset using a cluster analysis technique taking into...

In this article, we derive a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for positivity of the vector conditional variance equation in multivariate GARCH models with explicit modelling of conditional correlation. These models include the constant conditional correlation GARCH model of Bollerslev...

Recently the topic of global warming has become very popular. The literature has concentrated its attention on the evidence of such effect, either by detecting regime shifts or change points in time series. The majority of these methods are designed to find shifts in mean, but only few can do...

We propose a novel approach for estimating the similarity between the trends of two time series, which has been an important problem in the fields of finance, economics and econophysics. We introduce the exit-time correlation (EC) to measure this similarity based on the exit-time method recently...

We utilize the mixed exponential power asymmetric GARCH model where each component exhibits asymmetric conditional heteroskedasticity to model Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index daily returns. Thanks to extra component-specific shape parameters, it can better capture the tail behavior and...

This paper provides a selected review of the recent developments and applications of mixture-of-normal (MN) distribution models in financial econometrics. One noted feature of the MN model is its flexibility in accommodating various shapes of continuous distributions, and its ability in...

The time series momentum strategy has been shown to deliver consistent profitability over a long time horizon. Funds pursuing these strategies are now a component of many institutional portfolios, due to the expectation of positive returns in equity bear markets. However, the return drivers of...

This paper modelled the volatility persistence and asymmetry of naira-dollar exchange rate in interbank and Bureau de Change (BDC) using monthly data between January 2004 and November 2017. The study employed Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity [GARCH (1,1)], Thresh- old...

This paper focuses on the development of the interbank market risk premium in the Czech Republic during the global financial crisis. We explain the significant departure of interbank interest rates from the key monetary policy rate by a combination of different factors, including liquidity risk,...

High frequency data is a recent entrant to the world of statistics as they relate to the markets. With tick by tick data we get to see the microstructure of the markets and often are better able to see how they vary from the traditional portrayal. Traditional tools used to look at daily and...
