Rangel, Jose Gonzalo; Engle, Robert F. - Banco de México - 2009

We propose a new approach to model high and low frequency components of equity correlations. Our framework combines a factor asset pricing structure with other specifications capturing dynamic properties of volatilities and covariances between a single common factor and idiosyncratic returns....

Taylor Rules and the Predictability of Interest Rates

Söderlind, Paul; Söderström, Ulf; Vredin, Anders - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

Recent research suggests that commonly estimated dynamic Taylor rules augmented with a lagged interest rate imply too much predictability of interest rate changes compared with yield curve evidence. We show that this is not sufficient proof against the Taylor rule: the result could be driven by...
