We model the impact of financial conditions on asset market volatilities and correlations. We extend the Spline-GARCH model for volatility and DCC model for correlation to allow for inclusion of indexes that measure financial conditions. In our empirical application we consider daily stock...

In this paper, we investigate the value-at-risk predictions of four major precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) with non-linear long memory volatility models, namely FIGARCH, FIAPARCH and HYGARCH, under normal and Student-t innovations’ distributions. For these analyses, we...

The estimation of multivariate GARCH time series models is a difficult task mainly due to the excessive parametrization exhibited by the problem, usually referred to as the “curse of dimensionality”. For the VEC family, the number of parameters involved in the model grows as a polynomial of...

Based on the specification of the Conditional Autoregressive Range (CARR) model, we provide a framework that makes use of volatility based on the high and the low of daily prices separately to model the dynamic behavior of the conditional Rogers and Satchell (1991) estimator called herein the...

In this paper, we provide a framework to model and forecast daily volatility based on the newly proposed additive bias corrected extreme value volatility estimator (the Add RS estimator). The theoretical framework of the additive bias corrected extreme value volatility estimator is based on the...
