We introduce a new hybrid approach to joint estimation of Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for high quantiles of return distributions. We investigate the relative performance of VaR and ES models using daily returns for sixteen stock market indices (eight from developed and eight...

This book presents in detail methodologies for the Bayesian estimation of single-regime and regime-switching GARCH models. These models are widespread and essential tools in financial econometrics and have, until recently, mainly been estimated using the classical Maximum Likelihood technique....

The benefits of using flight-to-safety (FTS) in volatility forecasting are assessed within a multivariate GARCH framework. In particular, we propose realized semi-covariance between falling equity and rising safe haven returns as a proxy of FTS and we use it to model the conditional distribution...

A Monte Carlo (MC) experiment is conducted to study the forecasting performance of a variety of volatility models under alternative data generating processes (DGPs). The models included in the MC study are the (Fractionally Integrated) Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity...

Previous early-warning systems (EWSs) for currency crises have relied on models that require a priori dating of crises. This paper proposes an alternative EWS, based on a Markov-switching model, which identifies and characterizes crisis periods endogenously; this also allows the model to utilize...

Engel and West (2005) model log exchange rates as discounted log fundamentals. For ‘commodity currencies', commodity prices are often viewed as key fundamentals, implying that commodity prices should, therefore, be predicted by exchange rates and not vice-versa - which would run counter to a...

This study tested the unbiased pricing hypothesis, the theory of storage, and the ability of past futures’ prices to … adverse version of the hypothesis. The tests of the theory of storage were inconclusive as many residuals were serially … correlated. Where this was not the case, the theory of storage did not hold. 3-month rolling wavelet forecasts were typically …
