Estimation of the volatility of time series has taken off since the introduction of the GARCH and stochastic volatility … unobserved stochastic volatility, and the varying approaches that have been taken for such estimation.In order to simplify the … comprehension of these estimation methods, the main methods for estimating stochastic volatility are discussed, with focus on their …

accounts for time variation in macroeconomic volatility, known as the great moderation. In particular, we consider an … volatility processes and mixture distributions for the irregular components and the common cycle disturbances enable us to … that time-varying volatility is only present in the a selection of idiosyncratic components while the coefficients driving …

We examine the relationship between MIDAS regressions and the estimation of state space models applied to mixed … called for. The approach is appealing when we consider state space models which feature stochastic volatility, or other non … stochastic volatility feature is particularly relevant when considering high frequency financial series.
