This paper introduces a new approach to the modelling of a stationary long run component, which is an autoregressive process with near unit root and small sigma innovation. We show that a combination of a noise and a long run component can explain the long run predictability puzzle pointed out...

This paper introduces a new parametric fund performance measure, called the L-performance. The L-performance is an alternative to the Sharpe performance, which is commonly used in practice despite its inability to account for skewness and heavy tails of unconditional return distributions. The...

This paper introduces impulse response analysis for nonlinear processes based on the concept of nonlinear innovation. Our approach borrows from the traditional linear impulse response analysis in that we consider shocks to innovations of a process. It also extends the methods of nonlinear...
