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...

In this paper, we develop the theoretical and empirical properties of a new class of multivariate GARCH models capable of estimating large time-varying covariance matrices, Dynamic Conditional Correlation Multivariate GARCH. We show that the problem of multivariate conditional variance...

Building models for high dimensional portfolios is important in risk management and asset allocation. Here we propose a novel way of estimating models of time-varying covariances that overcome some of the computational problems which have troubled existing methods when applied to 1,000s of...

A volatility model must be able to forecast volatility; this is the central requirement in almost all financial applications. In this paper we outline some stylised facts aboutvolatility that should be incorporated in a model; pronounced persistence and meanreversion, asymmetry such that the...

In this paper we analyze and interpret the quote price dynamics of 100 NYSE stockswith varying average trade frequencies. We specify an error-correction model for the logdifference of the bid and the ask price, with the spread acting as the error-correctionterm, and include as regressors the...
