A growing empirical literature has considered the impact of uncertainty using SVAR models that include proxies for uncertainty shocks as endogenous variables. In this paper we consider the possible impact of measurement error in the uncertainty shock proxies on the estimated impulse responses...

Traditional mean variance optimization assumes that future returns and covariances of all the assets in the universe are known exactly. In practice, these input parameters are subject to estimation errors that may render the output of the optimization algorithm essentially useless. Here we...

A common problem in asset and portfolio risk and performance analysis is that the manager has such a short history of asset returns that risk and performance measure estimates are quite unreliable. But the manager has available long histories of many risk factors and can use a subset of them to...

We propose a new approach to analyse the effect of diversification on a portfolio of risks. By means of mixing techniques, we provide an explicit formula for the probability density function of the portfolio. These techniques allow to compute analytically risk measures as VaR or TVaR, and...
