This paper presents a new method for identifying triangular systems of time-series data. Identification is the product of a bivariate GARCH process. Relative to the literature on GARCH-based identification, this method distinguishes itself both by allowing for a timevarying covariance and by not...

A new model misspecification measure for linear asset pricing models is proposed for the case where misspecification maps to latency of one of the pricing factors; in this case, the market return. This measure is suited both for testing models that include the market return as a pricing factor...

A new estimator is proposed for linear triangular systems, where identification results from the model errors following a bivariate and diagonal GARCH(1,1) process with potentially time-varying error covariances. This estimator applies when traditional instruments are unavailable. I demonstrate...

A new model misspecification measure for linear asset pricing models is proposed. The origins of this measure are in Shanken (1987) and Kandel and Stambaugh (1985, 1995), where it is argued that the true market return is inherently latent and, as a consequence, only ever partially observed....
