Sornette et al. (1996), Sornette and Johansen (1997), Johansen et al. (2000) and Sornette (2003a) proposed that, prior to crashes, the mean function of a stock index price time series is characterized by a power law decorated with log-periodic oscillations, leading to a critical point that...

We study the possibility of completing data bases of a sample of governance, diversification and value creation variables by providing a well adapted method to reconstruct the missing parts in order to obtain a complete sample to be applied for testing the ownership-structure / diversification...

Low-frequency financial returns can be modelled as centered around piecewise-constant trend functions which change at certain points in time. We propose a new stochastic time series framework which captures this feature. The main ingredient of our model is a hierarchically-ordered oscillatory...

Extracting and forecasting the volatility of financial markets is an important empirical problem. Time series of … realized volatility or other volatility proxies, such as squared returns, display long range dependence. Exponential smoothing … address the prediction of volatility by a FerIMA model and carry out a recursive forecasting experiment, which proves that the …

This paper has a twofold purpose; the first is to present a small macroeconomic model in state space form, the second is to demonstrate that it produces accurate forecasts. The first of these objectives is achieved by fitting two forms of a structural state space macroeconomic model to Australian...

We test two questions: (i) Is the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) more parsimonious than Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)?, and (ii) Is BIC better than AIC for forecasting purposes? By using simulated data, we provide statistical inference of both hypotheses individually and then jointly...
