Nonparametric estimation of a structural cointegrating regression model is studied. As in the standard linear cointegrating regression model, the regressor and the dependent variable are jointly dependent and contemporaneously correlated. In nonparametric estimation problems, joint dependence is...

We derive a functional central limit theorem for the empirical spectral measure or discretely averaged (integrated) periodogram of a multivariate long range dependent stochastic process in a degenerating neighborhood of the origin. We show that, under certain restrictions on the memory...

In this paper we are concerned with estimating the fractional order of integration associated with a long-memory stochastic volatility model. We develop a new Bayesian estimator based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler and the wavelet representation of the log-squared returns to draw values...

This paper presents a method for Bayesian nonparametric analysis of the return distribution in a stochastic volatility model. The distribution of the logarithm of the squared return is flexibly modelled using an infinite mixture of Normal distributions. This allows efficient Markov chain Monte...

To accommodate the inhomogenous character of financial time series over longer time periods, standard parametric models can be extended by allowing their coefficients to vary over time. Focusing on conditional heteroscedasticity models, we discuss various strategies to identify and estimate...

Particle Filter algorithms for filtering latent states (volatility and jumps) of Stochastic-Volatility Jump-Diffusion (SVJD) models are being explained. Three versions of the SIR particle filter with adapted proposal distributions to the jump occurrences, jump sizes, and both are derived and...

We define a non-parametric estimator of the integrated leverage effect as the covariance between the logarithmic asset price and its volatility. In Curato and Sanfelici (2015), a consistent estimator of the leverage effect has been introduced through a pre-estimate of the Fourier coefficients of...

This paper proposes a new set of transformed polynomial functions that provide a flexible setting for nonlinear autoregressive modeling of the conditional mean while at the same time ensuring the strict stationarity, ergodicity, fading memory and existence of moments of the implied stochastic...

We propose a new nonparametric test to determine whether finite-activity jumps are present in a discretely observed price process. For a univariate Itô semimartingale, we introduce the concept of censored increments for observations recursively sampled at exit times with respect to a symmetric...
