We develop a new method that detects jumps nonparametrically in financial time series and significantly outperforms the … generated by a process that experiences both jumps and volatility bursts. As a result, the network learns how to disentangle the …: we obtain fewer spurious detection and identify a larger number of true jumps. When applied to real data, our approach …

Measuring comovements across international financial markets is important for policy purposes and portfolio management. We develop a new approach to analyse such comovements in relation to key state variables, such as equity market volatility and short-term interest rates. These state variables...

We investigate the dynamics of the relationship between returns and extreme downside risk in different states of the market by combining the framework of Bali, Demirtas, and Levy (2009) with a Markov switching mechanism. We show that the risk-return relationship identified by Bali, Demirtas, and...

We analyze link between mortgage-related regulatory penalties levied on banks and the level of systemic risk in the U.S. banking industry. We employ a frequency decomposition of volatility spillovers to draw conclusions about system-wide risk transmission with short-, medium-, and long-term...
