We investigate, using a number of econometric tools, the impact of jumps on the stylised facts of returns and … volatility. We look at 100 stocks, representing 10 sectors over the period 2000-2010. We find that jumps had little or no impact … effects work only via the continuous component of realised variance. Jumps have no memory and stocks with higher jump activity …

We propose a multivariate realised kernel to estimate the ex-post covariation of log-prices. We show this new consistent estimator is guaranteed to be positive semi-definite and is robust to measurement noise of certain types and can also handle non-synchronous trading. It is the first estimator...

We propose a new measure of risk, based entirely on downward moves measured using high frequency data.  Realised semivariances are shown to have important predictive qualities for future market volatility.  The theory of these new measures is spelt out, drawing on some new results from...

We analyse the costs and benefits of increasing capital requirements for Danish banks. Costs can be close to 0 if banks suspend dividend payments for a period of time as banks accumulate capital and if investors' required return falls. The latter implies that the Modigliani-Miller effect is...

Analysing causality among oil prices and, in general, among financial and economic variables is of central relevance in applied economics studies. The recent contribution of Lu et al. (2014) proposes a novel test for causality- the DCC-MGARCH Hong test. We show that the critical values of the...
