We propose a novel dynamic approach to forecast the weights of the global minimum variance portfolio (GMVP). The GMVP weights are the population coefficients of a linear regression of a benchmark return on a vector of return differences. This representation enables us to derive a consistent loss...

In this paper, we investigate the calibration of the smoothing parameter in an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for realized covariance matrices. Although it is the crucial determinant in steering the dynamics of the EWMA, little attention is drawn on its calibration in many...

In this paper we discuss parameter identification and likelihood evaluation for multinomial multiperiod Probit models. It is shown in particular that the standard autoregressive specification used in the literature can be interpreted as a latent common factor model. However, this specification...
