In this paper, I apply univariate and vector autoregressive (VAR) models to forecast inflation in Vietnam. To investigate the forecasting performance of the models, two naive benchmark models (one is a variant of a random walk and the other is an autoregressive model) are first built based on...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to model the volatility of NIFTY index of National Stock Exchange (NSE) and forecast the NIFTY stock returns for short term by using daily data ranging from January, 2000, to December, 2014, which comprises 3736 data points for the analysis by using...

Standard price discovery measures, particularly information shares, rely on the concept of co-integration for non-stationary time series. For the definition of information shares, the existence of a permanent impact of innovations is crucial, as these shares measure the relative contribution of...

We apply the fractionally cointegrated vector autoregressive (FCVAR) model to analyze the relationship between spot and futures prices in five commodity markets (aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc). To this end, we first extend the FCVAR model to accommodate deterministic trends in the...

A time series model is discussed that incorporates both permanent and transient effects. Estimation techniques are given, and the power of the likelihood ratio test is assessed. When applied to the monthly price/earnings series of the S&P 500 over the period 1871-2013, both permanent and...

An exploratory study is conducted to assess the persistence of cointegration among U.S. equities. In other words, if a pair of equities is found to be cointegrated in one period, is it likely that it will be found to be cointegrated in the subsequent period? An examination is performed of pairs...

We develop spectral volume models to systematically estimate, explain, and exploit the high-frequency periodicity in intraday trading activities using Fourier analysis. The framework consistently recovers periodicities at specific frequencies in three steps, despite their low signal-to-noise...

The objectives of this paper are to analyse the presence of multifractality in daily exchange rates of the US dollar (USD), British Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), and Japanese Yen (JPY) relative to the Indian Rupee (INR) for a specific period (1999-2018) and to investigate the source of the observed...
