Multivariate volatility modeling of electricity futures
Bauwens, Luc; Hafner, Christian M.; Pierret, Diane - 2011
We model the dynamic volatility and correlation structure of electricity futures of the European Energy Exchange index. We use a new multiplicative dynamic conditional correlation (mDCC) model to separate long-run from short-run components. We allow for smooth changes in the unconditional...

Localising forward intensities for multiperiod corporate default
Härdle, Wolfgang Karl - 2014
1991 to 2011, we estimate default probabilities over various prediction horizons. The prediction performance is evaluated … against the global FIA that employs all past observations. For the six months prediction horizon, the local adaptive FIA … performs with the same accuracy as the benchmark. The default prediction power is improved for the longer horizon (one to three …

State Price Densities implied from weather derivatives
Härdle, Wolfgang Karl; López-Cabrera, Brenda; Teng, … - 2013
A State Price Density (SPD) is the density function of a risk neutral equivalent martingale measure for option pricing, and is indispensible for exotic option pricing and portfolio risk management. Many approaches have been proposed in the last two decades to calibrate a SPD using financial...

Improved volatility estimation based on limit order books
Bibinger, Markus; Jirak, Moritz; Reiss, Markus - 2014
For a semi-martingale Xt, which forms a stochastic boundary, a rate-optimal estimator for its quadratic variation (X;X)t is constructed based on observations in the vicinity of Xt. The problem is embedded in a Poisson point process framework, which reveals an interesting connection to the theory...

Extreme value models in a conditional duration intensity framework
Herrera, Rodrigo; Schipp, Bernhard - 2011
The analysis of return series from financial markets is often based on the Peaks-over-threshold (POT) model. This model assumes independent and identically distributed observations and therefore a Poisson process is used to characterize the occurrence of extreme events. However, stylized facts...

Varying coefficient GARCH versus local constant volatility modeling. Comparison of the predictive power
Polzehl, Jörg; Spokoiny, Vladimir - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin>
GARCH models are widely used in financial econometrics. However, we show by mean of a simple simulation example that the GARCH approach may lead to a serious model misspecification if the assumption of stationarity is violated. In particular, the well known integrated GARCH effect can be...

Copula dynamics in CDOs
Choros-Tomczyk, Barbara; Härdle, Wolfgang Karl; … - 2012
Values of tranche spreads of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are driven by the joint default performance of the assets in the collateral pool. The dependence between the names in the portfolio mainly depends on current economic conditions. Therefore, a correlation implied from tranches...

Forecasting euro-area variables with German pre-EMU data
Brüggemann, Ralf; Lütkepohl, Helmut; Marcellino, … - 2006
It is investigated whether Euro-area variables can be forecast better based on synthetic time series for the pre-Euro period or by using just data from Germany for the pre-Euro period. Our forecast comparison is based on quarterly data for the period 1970Q1 - 2003Q4 for ten macroeconomic...
