A novel dynamic asset-allocation approach is proposed where portfolios as well as portfolio strategies are updated at every decision period based on their past performance. For modeling, a general class of models is specified that combines a dynamic factor and a vector autoregressive model and...

This paper develops a method to improve the estimation of jump variation using high frequency data with the existence of market microstructure noises. Accurate estimation of jump variation is in high demand, as it is an important component of volatility in finance for portfolio allocation,...

The official estimation for the term structure model in Colombia is based on the Nelson and Siegel (1987) development which is widely accepted and used. This estimation is based on the curve fitting with available data, only for one day ahead, making difficult to estimate the future zero-coupon...

This paper proposes a hybrid modelling approach for forecasting returns and volatilities of the stock market. The model, called ARFIMA-WLLWNN model, integrates the advantages of the ARFIMA model, the wavelet decomposition technique (namely, the discrete MODWT with Daubechies least asymmetric...

We present a multi-scale and time-frequency analysis of the degree of integration and the lead-lag relationship between six cryptocurrencies (i.e., Bitcoin, Bitcoincash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and Tether) and the cryptocurrency-implied volatility index (VCRIX). As a result, the wavelet...

This paper presents a set of tools, which allow gathering information about the frequency components of a time-series. We focus on the concepts rather than giving too much weight to mathematical technicalities. In a first step, we discuss spectral analysis and filtering methods. Spectral...

This research investigates the effect of the US economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the price dynamics of agricultural, energy and metal over the period 1985:01–2017:12 using wavelet coherence analysis. The results demonstrate that the price movement among the commodities and EPU indices...
