This paper studies the impact of modelling time-varying variances of stock returns in terms of risk measurement and extreme risk spillover. Using a general class of regime-dependent models, we find that volatility can be disaggregated into distinct components: a persistent stable process with...

Stock return predictability by investor sentiment has been subject to constant updating, but reaching a decisive conclusion seems rather challenging as academic research relies heavily on US data. We provide fresh evidence on stock return predictability in an international setting and show that...

Energy price volatilities and correlations have been modeled extensively using short-memory multivariate GARCH models. This paper investigates the potential benefits from using multivariate fractionally integrated GARCH models from a forecasting and a risk management perspective. Several...
