This paper uses a frequency domain approach to gain insight into the correlation between survey indicators and year … of the correlation between survey indicators and year-on-year GDP growth at the different frequencies to explain their … overall correlation. We show that survey indicators, similar to year-on-year GDP growth, do not perfectly reflect business …

We investigate the possibility of exploiting partial correlation graphs for identifying interpretable latent variables … underlying a multivariate time series. It is shown how the collapsibility and separation properties of partial correlation graphs …

We summarize serial correlation robust test procedures and propose a bootstrap approach.

We consider the problem of ex-ante forecasting conditional correlation patterns using ultra high frequency data … correlation matrices and exogenous factors. The Fisher-z transformation guarantees robustness of correlation estimators under … prominent parametric and nonparametric alternatives to correlation modeling. Based on economic performance criteria, we …

This paper addresses the open debate about the effectiveness and practical relevance of highfrequency (HF) data in portfolio allocation. Our results demonstrate that when used with proper econometric models, HF data offers gains over daily data and more importantly these gains are maintained...

We summarize some methods useful in formulating and solving Hansen-Sargent robust control problems, and suggest extensions to discretion and simple rules. Matlab, Octave, and Gauss software is provided. We illustrate these extensions with applications to the term structure of interest rates, the...

In this paper we want to discuss macroscopic and microscopic properties of financial markets. By analyzing quantitatively a database consisting of 13 minute per minute recorded financial time series, we identify some macroscopic statistical properties of the corresponding markets, with a special...
