The paper evaluates several hundred one-day-ahead VaR forecasting models in the time period between the years 2004 and 2009 on data from six world stock indices - DJI, GSPC, IXIC, FTSE, GDAXI and N225. The models model mean using the ARMA processes with up to two lags and variance with one of...

In a recent paper Gonzalez Manteiga and Vilar Fernandez (1995) considered the problem of testing linearity of a regression under MA structure of the errors using a weighted L1-distance between a parametric and a nonparametric fit. They established asymptotic normality of the corresponding test...

Extending the results in Sargan (1976) and Tanaka (1984), we derive the asymptotic expansions, of the Edgeworth and Nagar type, of the MM and QML estimators of the 1^{st} order autocorrelation and the MA parameter for the MA(1) model. It turns out that the asymptotic properties of the estimators...

We examine several simulation-based estimators for the parameters of a moving average process, including the one initially proposed by Gourieroux, Monfort and Renault (1993) as well as several extensions based on Gallant and Tauchen (1994). The estimators are also compared and related to...
