The paper examines statistical and economic evidence of out-of-sample bond return predictability for a real-time Bayesian investor who learns about parameters, hidden states, and predictive models over time. We find some statistical evidence using information contained in forward rates. However,...

We explore the performance of mixed-frequency predictive regressions for stock returns from the perspective of a Bayesian investor. We develop a constrained parameter learning approach for sequential estimation allowing for belief revisions. Empirically, we find that mixed-frequency models...

Tail risk refers to the possibility that a rare event would adversely affect the value of a portfolio in a significant … manner. It became much more relevant due to recent periods of strong market turbulence.We describe how to quantify such risk …, which tail risk protection strategies were considered in the literature, their effectiveness and associated costs. We also …

Uncertainty about the choice of identifying assumptions is common in causal studies, but is often ignored in empirical practice. This paper considers uncertainty over models that impose different identifying assumptions, which can lead to a mix of point‐ and set‐identified models. We propose...

A central maxim in statistics is that correlation does not imply causation, and a lack of correlation does not imply a lack of causation. However, this does not mean that correlation contains no informational content whatsoever for causality. In this paper, I propose a tractable characterisation...

We propose a new model for volatility forecasting which combines the Generalized Dynamic Factor Model (GDFM) and the GARCH model. The GDFM, applied to a large number of series, captures the multivariate information and disentangles the common and the idiosyncratic part of each series of returns....

In this paper, we analyze new possibilities in predicting daily ranges, i.e. differences between daily high and low prices. We empirically assess efficiency gains in volatility estimation when using range-based estimators as opposed to simple daily ranges and explore the use of these more...
