We introduce a copula-based dynamic model for multivariate processes of (non-negative) high-frequency trading variables revealing time-varying conditional variances and correlations. Modeling the variables’ conditional mean processes using a multiplicative error model we map the resulting...

In the paper, we derive an unbiased estimator of the efficient frontier. It is shown that the suggested estimator corrects the overoptimism of the sample efficient frontier documented in Siegel and Woodgate (2007). Moreover, an exact F-test on the efficient frontier is presented.

In this paper, we derive an exact test for a column of the covariance matrix. The test statistic is calculated by using a single observation. The exact distributions of the test statistic are derived under both the null and alternative hypotheses. We also obtain an analytical expression of the...
