Testing procedures for predictive regressions with lagged autoregressive variables imply a suboptimal inference in presence of small violations of ideal assumptions. We propose a novel testing framework resistant to such violations, which is consistent with nearly integrated regressors and...

The equal-risk-contribution, inverse-volatility weighted, maximum-diversification and minimum-variance portfolio weights are all direct functions of the estimated covariance matrix. We perform a Monte Carlo study to assess the impact of covariance matrix misspecification to these risk-based...

The introduction by regulators of mandatory margining for bilateral OTCs is going to have a major impact on the derivatives market, particularly in light of the additional funding costs and liquidity requirements that large financial institutions will face. Fabrizio Anfuso, Daniel Aziz, Paul...

To evaluate the price forecasts, we use two data frequencies i.e., annual and quarter with two most demanding techniques, i.e., ARIMA and VAR models to forecast the four index of inflation, named, Consumer Price Index (CPI), Wholesale Price Index (WPI), GNP Price Deflator (GNPPD), and Implicit...

Usage of Monte Carlo simulation for pricing requires a well defined and accurate market implied distribution of risk factors. Overlay, on top of these simulated risk factors, one can also generate conditional prices based on the set of underlying risk factors at future time horizons. The ability...

The limit distribution of conventional test statistics for predictability may depend on the degree of persistence of the predictors. Therefore, diverging results and conclusions may arise because of the different asymptotic theories adopted. Using differencing transformations, we introduce a new...

This thesis develops new methods to assess two types of financial risk. Market risk is defined as the risk of losing money due to drops in the values of asset portfolios. Systemic risk refers to the breakdown risk for the financial system induced by the distress of individual companies. During...

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Vorhersage von Währungskrisen. Dazu wird ein dreidimensionales Frühwarnsystem für Währungskrisen konstruiert, das anhand zehn osteuropäischer Länder von 1995 bis 2003 mit einer binär logistischen Regression in sample und out of sample auf seine...
