Combining Multivariate Volatility Forecasts : An Economic-Based Approach

Caldeira, João F. - 2016

We devise a novel approach to combine predictions of high dimensional conditional covariance matrices using economic criteria based on portfolio selection. The combination scheme takes into account not only the portfolio objective function but also the portfolio characteristics in order to...

Forecasting Stock Market Volatility and Application to Volatility Timing Portfolios

Chun, Dohyun; Cho, Hoon; Ryu, Doojin - 2022

This study predicts stock market volatility and applies them to the standard problem in finance, namely, asset allocation. Based on machine learning and model averaging approaches, we integrate the drivers’ predictive information to forecast market volatilities. Using various evaluation...

Testing directional forecast value in the presence of serial correlation

Blaskowitz, Oliver; Herwartz, Helmut - 2008

Common approaches to test for the economic value of directional forecasts are based on the classical Chi-square test for independence, Fisher’s exact test or the Pesaran and Timmerman (1992) test for market timing. These tests are asymptotically valid for serially independent observations....

Can We Beat the Random Walk? The Case of Survey-Based Exchange Rate Forecasts in Chile

Pincheira, Pablo - 2018

We examine the accuracy of survey-based expectations of the Chilean exchange rate relative to the US dollar. Our out-of-sample analysis reveals that survey-based forecasts outperform the Driftless Random Walk (DRW) in terms of Mean Squared Prediction Error at several forecasting horizons. This...

Forecasting Expected Shortfall : Should We Use a Multivariate Model for Stock Market Factors?

Fortin, Alain-Philippe - 2019

Is univariate or multivariate modelling more effective when forecasting the market risk of stock portfolios? We examine this question in the context of forecasting the one-week-ahead Expected Shortfall of a portfolio invested in the Fama-French and momentum factors. Apply ingextensive tests and...

Forecasting value-at-risk under temporal and portfolio aggregation

Kole, Erik; Markwat, Thijs; Opschoor, Anne; Dijk, Dick van - 2015

We examine the impact of temporal and portfolio aggregation on the quality of Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecasts over a horizon of ten trading days for a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and alternative investments. The VaR forecasts are constructed based on daily, weekly or biweekly...

Sparse Multivariate Modeling for Stock Returns Predictability

Bernardi, Mauro; Bianchi, Daniele; Bianco, Nicolas - 2021

We develop a new variational Bayes estimation method for large-dimensional sparse vector autoregressive models with exogenous predictors. Unlike existing Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational Bayes (VB) algorithms, our approach is not based on a structural form representation of the...

Does Modeling Jumps Help? A Comparison of Realized Volatility Models for Risk Prediction

Liao, Yin - 2012

Recent literature has focuses on realized volatility models to predict financial risk. This paper studies the benefit of explicitly modeling jumps in this class of models for value at risk (VaR) prediction. Several popular realized volatility models are compared in terms of their VaR forecasting...

GARCH Family Models vs EWMA : which is the best model to forecast volatility of the Moroccan stock exchange market?

Jebari, Ouael El; Hakmaoui, Abdelati - In: Revista de métodos cuantitativos para la economía y … 26 (2018), pp. 237-249

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,...
