The article deals with a class of stochastic processes, the Multifractional Processes with Random Exponent (MPRE), recently introduced to gain flexibility in modeling many complex phenomena. We claim that MPRE can capture in a very parsimonious way most of the well known financial stylized...

This paper introduces a new class of long memory model for volatility of stock returns, and applies the model on squared returns for BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries. The conditional first- and second-order moments are provided. The CLS, FGLS and QML estimators...

This study examines the relationship between positive and negative investor sentiments and stock market returns and volatility in Group of 20 countries using various methods, including panel regression with fixed effects, panel quantile regressions, a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model,...

Stock market volatility clusters in time, appears fractionally integrated, carries a risk premium, and exhibits asymmetric leverage effects relative to returns. At the same time, the volatility risk premium, defined by the difference between the risk-neutral and objective expectations of the...

This paper examines the long-run dynamics and the cyclical structure of various series related to the US stock market using fractional integration. We implement a procedure which enables one to consider unit roots with possibly fractional orders of integration both at the zero (long-run) and the...
