Inference on common parameters in panel data models with individual-specific fixed effects is a classic example of Neyman and Scott's (Econometrica 36:1-32, 1948) incidental parameter problem (IPP). One solution to this IPP is functional differencing (Bonhomme in Econometrica 80(4):1337-1385,...

We propose sparse versions of multivariate GARCH models that allow for volatility and correlation spillover effects across assets. The proposed models are generalizations of existing diagonal DCC and BEKK models, yet they remain estimable for high-dimensional systems of asset returns. To cope...

We study international asset pricing in a large-dimensional multivariate GARCH-in-mean framework. We examine different estimation methods and find that the two-step estimation method proposed by Bali and Engle (2010) tends to underestimate the risk-return coefficient and the corresponding...

We introduce and evaluate mixed-frequency multivariate GARCH models for forecasting low-frequency (weekly or monthly) multivariate volatility based on high-frequency intra-day returns (at five-minute intervals) and on the overnight returns. The low-frequency conditional volatility matrix is...
