Statistical inferences for weights of the global minimum variance portfolio (GMVP) are of both theoretical and practical relevance for mean-variance portfolio selection. Daily realized GMVP weights depend only on realized covariance matrix computed from intraday highfrequency returns. In this...

This paper studies the estimation of high-dimensional minimum variance portfolio (MVP) based on the high frequency returns which can exhibit heteroscedasticity and possibly be contaminated by microstructure noise. Under certain sparsity assumptions on the precision matrix, we propose estimators...

We evaluate the use of Generalized Empirical Likelihood (GEL) estimators in portfolio efficiency tests for asset pricing models in the presence of conditional information. Estimators from GEL family present some optimal statistical properties, such as robustness to misspecification and better...

We investigate the impact of shrinkage estimation techniques for the moments of asset returns on risk-parity portfolios. In contrast to mean-variance portfolios, the risk contributions of individual assets in risk-parity portfolios are fixed a priori. This additional restriction stabilizes...

Considerable literature has been devoted to developing statistical inferential results for risk measures, especially for those that are of the form of L-functionals. However, practical and theoretical considerations have highlighted quite a number of risk measures that are of the form of ratios,...

The situation of a limited availability of historical data is frequently encountered in portfolio risk estimation, especially in credit risk estimation. This makes it, for example, difficult to find temporal structures with statistical significance in the data on the single asset level. By...

We propose an amended multifactor asset pricing model, the diversification risk … formed on size and liquidity suffer from diversification asymmetries. Specifically, the size effect dies out when the …

We develop a novel machine learning method to estimate large dimensional time-varying GMM models via our newly designed ridge fusion regularization scheme. Our method is a one-step procedure and allows for abrupt, smooth and dual type time variation with a fast rate of convergence. It...

Deriving estimators from historical data is common practice in applied quantitative finance. The availability of ever larger data sets and easier access to statistical algorithms has also led to an increased usage of historical estimators. In this research note, we illustrate how to assess the...

Nowadays, modeling and forecasting the volatility of stock markets have become central to the practice of risk management; they have become one of the major topics in financial econometrics and they are principally and continuously used in the pricing of financial assets and the Value at Risk,...
