Regarding the volatility spillovers, such spillovers from bond returns to those of stocks are stronger than the other … results show that by considering time-varying return and volatility spillovers when calculating the risk-minimising portfolio …

This is mostly true for the level and slope volatility revealing … also the highest persistence. It turns out that the inclusion of stochastic volatility improves the model's goodness …

In order to account for long-memory we separate stochastic daily and intraday volatility patterns by introducing a long …-run component that changes at daily frequency and a short-run component that captures the remaining intraday volatility dynamics.
