This paper introduces a new approach to the modelling of a stationary long run component, which is an autoregressive process with near unit root and small sigma innovation. We show that a combination of a noise and a long run component can explain the long run predictability puzzle pointed out...

In a nonlinear framework, temporal dependence of time series is sensitive to transformations. The aim of this paper is to examine in detail the relationships between various forms of persistence and nonlinear transformations of stationary and nonstationary processes. We introduce the concept of...

The individual risks faced by banks, insurers, and marketers are less well understood than aggregate risks such as market-price changes. But the risks incurred or carried by individual people, companies, insurance policies, or credit agreements can be just as devastating as macroevents such as...

The paper presents a study of temporal dependence in nonlinear transformations of time series. We examine the effects of parametric transformations on autocorrelation values and the persistence range with special emphasis on long memory processes. We derive an invariance property for the order...

This paper examines long-term dependence in times between trades on financial markets. The autocorrelation functions of several intertrade duration series show a slow, hyperbolic rate of decay typical for long memory processes. For example, a shock to times between trades of the Alcatel stock on...
