This study compares the relative performance of several well-known models in the forecasting of REIT volatility. Overall our results suggest that long-memory models (ARFIMA & FIGARCH) provide the best forecasts. Using either a large sample or some statistically justified small subsamples, we...

This paper extends the REIT literature on international market linkages by introducing a time scale dimension. In particular, we apply the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) to seven major global REIT markets, and investigate their linkages among returns and volatilities at...
