This paper describes how the frequency domain analysis provides an alternative approach to time domain analysis for a given time series. Spectral and periodogram analysis for a given time series are performed to detect trends and seasonalities in the data. A cross-spectral analysis is used to...

Simulation-based estimation methods have become more widely used in recent years. We propose a set of tests for structural change in models estimates via Simulated Method of Moments (see Duffie and Singleton (1993)). These tests extend the recent work of Andrews (1993) and Sowell (1996a, b)...

At its core, portfolio and risk management is about gathering and processing market-related data in order to make effective investment decisions. To this end, risk and return statistics are estimated from relevant financial data and used as inputs within the investment process. It is this...

This paper develops a wavelet (spectral) approach to estimate the parameters of a linear regression model where the regressand and the regressors are persistent processes and contain a measurement error. We propose a wavelet filtering approach which does not require instruments and yields...

A novel simulation-based methodology is proposed to test the validity of a set of marginal time series models, where the dependence structure between the time series is taken "directly" from the observed data. The procedure is useful when one wants to summarize the test results for several time...

This paper describes a modelling methodology for multivariate stochastic processes. The concept of multiple causality is discussed and a procedure to detect multiple causality is suggested. The data of a major Canadian supermarket is analyzed and a multivariate autoregressive model for this...

We derive the limiting null distribution of the robust CUSUM-M test and the recursive CUSUM-M test for structural change of the coefficients of a linear regression model with long-memory disturbances. It turns out that the asymptotic null distribution of the CUSUM-M statistic is a fractional...
