Hybrid historical simulation VaR and ES : performance in developed and emerging markets
Zikovic, Sasa; Filer, Randall Keith - 2009
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...

Time varying hierarchical archimedean copulae
Härdle, Wolfgang; Okhrin, Ostap; Okhrin, Yarema - 2010
There is increasing demand for models of time-varying and non-Gaussian dependencies for mul- tivariate time-series. Available models suffer from the curse of dimensionality or restrictive assumptions on the parameters and the distribution. A promising class of models are the hierarchical...

A Functional Coefficient Model View of the Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle
Herwartz, Helmut - 2009
What does the saving-investment (SI) relation really measure and how should the SI relation be measured? These are two of the most discussed issues triggered by the so called Feldstein-Horioka puzzle. Based on panel data we introduce a new variant of functional coefficient models that allows to...

The Informativeness of Stochastic Frontier and Programming Frontier Efficiency Scores : Cost Efficiency and Other Measures of Bank Holding Company Performance
Eisenbeis, Robert - 2015
This paper examines the properties of the X-inefficiencies in U.S. bank holding companies derived from both stochastic and linear programming frontiers. This examination allows the robustness of results across methods to be compared. While we find that calculated programming inefficiency scores...

Frequency-domain evidence for climate change
Mangat, Manveer Kaur; Reschenhofer, Erhard - In: Econometrics : open access journal 8 (2020) 3/28, pp. 1-15
The goal of this paper is to search for conclusive evidence against the stationarity of the global air surface temperature, which is one of the most important indicators of climate change. For this purpose, possible long-range dependencies are investigated in the frequency-domain. Since...

Inference on a semiparametric model with global power law and local nonparametric trends
Gao, Jiti; Linton, Oliver; Peng, Bin - 2018
This paper studies a model with both a parametric global trend and a nonparametric local trend. This model may be of interest in a number of applications in economics, finance, ecology, and geology. The model nests the parametric global trend model considered in Phillips (2007) and Robinson...

Econometric analysis of volatile art markets
Bocart, Fabian Y. R. P.; Hafner, Christian M. - 2011
A new heteroskedastic hedonic regression model is suggested which takes into account time-varying volatility and is … expectation. The art price index is a smooth function of time and has a variability that is comparable to the volatility of stock …

Information flows around the globe : predicting opening gaps from overnight foreign stock price patterns
Gooijer, Jan G. de; Diks, Cees G. H.; Gatarek, Lukasz T. - 2009
This paper describes a forecasting exercise of close-to-open returns on major global stock indices, based on price patterns from foreign markets that have become available overnight. As the close-to-open gap is a scalar response variable to a functional variable, it is natural to focus on...
