Recent experience with interest rates hitting the effective lower bound and agents facing binding borrowing constraints has emphasised the importance of understanding the behaviour of an economy in which some variables may be restricted at times. The extended path algorithm is a commonly used...

integrated framework to examine whether a real-time optimizing investor can benefit from the stock market by allocating assets … on the output of the forecasting model. All aforementioned steps only use data up to the current time and before the … forecasting time. The results are compared to common benchmarks such as the buy-and-hold strategy and additional benchmarks that …

We implement a long-horizon static and dynamic portfolio allocation involving a risk-free and a risky asset. This model is calibrated at a quarterly frequency for ten European countries. We also use maximum-likelihood estimates and Bayesian estimates to account for parameter uncertainty. We find...

Combinations of point forecasts from expert forecasters are known to frequently outperform individual forecasts. It is also well documented that combination by simple averaging very often has performance superior to that of more sophisticated combinations. This empirical fact is referred to as...

Several approaches for subset recovery and improved forecasting accuracy have been proposed and studied. One way is to apply a regularization strategy and solve the model selection task as a continuous optimization problem. One of the most popular approaches in this research field is given by...

Covariance appears throughout investment management, e.g., in risk reporting and control, portfolio construction, risk parity, smart beta, algorithmic trading, and hedging. It is usually represented via multi-factor model. The form’s fewer parameters and structure—comovement through...
