The Block DCC model for determining dynamic correlations within and between groups of financial asset returns is … extended to account for asymmetric effects. Simulation results show that the Asymmetric Block DCC model is competitive in in …-sample forecasting and performs better than alternative DCC models in out-of-sample forecasting of conditional correlation in the …
