It is well known that the correlation between financial series varies over time. Here, the forecasting performance of different time-varying correlation models is compared for cross-country correlations of weekly G5 and daily European stock market indices. In contrast to previous studies only...

The aim of this article is to bring together different specifications for copula models with time-varying dependence structure. Copula models are widely used in financial econometrics and risk management. They are considered to be a competitive alternative to the Gaussian dependence structure....

The maximum likelihood estimator applied to the dynamic conditional correlation model is severely biased in high dimensions. This is, in particular, the case where the cross-section dimension is close to the sample size. It is argued that one of the reasons for the bias lies in an...

A new semiparametric dynamic copula model is proposed where the marginals are specified as parametric GARCH-type processes, and the dependence parameter of the copula is allowed to change over time in a nonparametric way. A straightforward two-stage estimation method is given by local maximum...
