Building models for high dimensional portfolios is important in risk management and asset allocation.  Here we propose a novel and fast way of estimating models of time-varying covariances that overcome an undiagnosed incidental parameter problem which has troubled existing methods when applied...

Conditional returns distributions generated by a GARCH process, which are important for many problems in market risk … moments of GARCH returns distributions in several ways: we consider a general GARCH model – the GJR specification with a … specific GARCH models largely used in practice are recovered as special cases; we derive the limits of these moments as the …

We quantify and endogenize the model risk associated with quantile estimates using a maximum entropy distribution (MED) as benchmark. Moment-based MEDs cannot have heavy tails, however generalized beta generated distributions have attractive properties for popular applications of quantiles....

Several aspects of GARCH(p, q) models that are relevant for empirical applications are investigated. In particular, it … is noted that the inclusion of dummy variables as regressors can lead to multimodality in the GARCH likelihood. This … invalidates standard inference on the estimated coefficients. Next, the implementation of different restrictions on the GARCH …

In this paper we develop a time series model which allows long-term disequilibriums to have epochs of non-stationarity, giving the impression that long term relationships between economic variables have temporarily broken down, before they endogenously collapse back towards their long term...

GARCH option pricing models have the advantage of a well-established econometric foundation. However, multiple states … need to be introduced as single state GARCH and even Levy processes are unable to explain the term structure of the moments … of financial data. We show that the continuous time version of the Markov switching GARCH(1,1) process is a stochastic …

Under the new capital accord stress tests are to be included in market risk regulatory capital calculations. This development necessitates a coherent and objective framework for stress testing portfolios exposed to market risk. Following recent criticism of stress testing methods our tests are...
