Recent empirical researches have examined the relationship between US short-term interest rates using linear as well nonlinear econometric tools. The main objective of this paper is to employ a new dynamic model that combines the bivariate noisy Mackey-Glass and the BEKK GARCH processes...

This paper, investigates the effect war and terrorism, have on the covariance between oil prices and the indices of four major stock markets - the American S&P500 and the European DAX, CAC40 and FTSE100 - using nonlinear BEKK-GARCH type models. Findings reported herein indicate that the...

We investigate for evidence of complex-deterministic dynamics in financial returns time series. By combining the Surrogate Data Analysis inferential framework with the MG-GARCH (Kyrtsou and Terraza, 2003) modelling approach, we examine whether the sequences are characterized by aperiodic and...
