This study analyzes the dynamic connectedness between the Baltic Dirty Tanker Index (BDTI) and sector indexes in the stock exchanges of the BRIC countries, focusing on the chemical, oil, and raw materials sectors. Using daily data from January 1, 2015, to September 30, 2024, the analysis reveals...

In this paper, we carry out a comprehensive comparison of Gaussian generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and autoregressive stochastic volatility (ARSV) models for volatility forecasting using the S&P 500 Index. In particular, we investigate their performance using...

This study examines the impact of investor attention on portfolio volatility and sectoral risk spillovers in Borsa Istanbul. We use advanced econometric models, including E-GARCH-X, GJR-GARCH-X, and multivariate BEKK-GARCH-X, and analyze daily data from January 2004 to June 2024. We find that...

To address a key issue in functional time series analysis on testing the randomness of an observed series, we propose an IID test for functional time series by generalizing the Brock-Dechert-Scheinkman (BDS) test, which is commonly used for testing nonlinear independence. Similarly to the BDS...

Our aim in this paper is to analytically compute the at-the-money second derivative of the Bachelier implied volatility curve as a function of the strike price for correlated stochastic volatility models. We also obtain an expression for the short-term limit of this second derivative in terms of...
