Recent literature has focuses on realized volatility models to predict financial risk. This paper studies the benefit of explicitly modeling jumps in this class of models for value at risk (VaR) prediction. Several popular realized volatility models are compared in terms of their VaR forecasting...

The GARCH(1,1) model and its extensions have become a standard econometric tool for modeling volatility dynamics of financial returns and portfolio risk. In this paper, we propose an adjustment of GARCH implied conditional value-at-risk and expected shortfall forecasts that exploits the...

We investigate the out-of-sample forecasting ability of the HML, SMB, momentum, short-term and long-term reversal factors along with their size and value decompositions on U.S. bond and stock returns for a variety of horizons ranging from the short run (1 month) to the long run (2 years). Our...

This paper reappraises the usefulness of forecast combination for predicting the US equity premium. For comparison, we also include penalized regression and dimension reduction approaches. We fail to find evidence of predictive ability in recent decades, regardless of the forecasting method...

ARFIMAX models are applied in estimating the intra-day realized volatility of the CAC40 and DAX30 indices. Volatility clustering and asymmetry characterize the logarithmic realized volatility of both indices. ARFIMAX model with time-varying conditional heteroscedasticity is the best performing...

This paper explores the capacity of Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) and Prophet model to predict stock market returns during coronavirus outbreak. To the best of our knowledge this is the first research that compares GBM and prophet model in order to forcast stock market volatility especially...

We use machine learning to predict stock returns at forward horizons from 1 month ahead to 120 months ahead. Stock return predictability declines with the forecast horizon; it follows an asymptotic exponential decay process consisting of a permanent component (c. 20 bp/month) and a transient...

We propose a model that extends the RT-GARCH model by allowing conditional heteroskedasticity in the volatility process. We show we are able to filter and forecast both volatility and volatility of volatility simultaneously in this simple setting. The volatility forecast function follows a...
