This work deals with multivariate stochastic volatility models, which account for a time-varying variance-covariance structure of the observable variables. We focus on a special class of models recently proposed in the literature and assume that the covariance matrix is a latent variable which...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of age-cohort survival curves under the assumption that the instantaneous mortality intensity is driven by an affine jump-diffusion (AJD) process. Advantages of an AJD specification of mortality dynamics include the availability of closed-form...

Korean Abstract : 이 논문에서는 한국의 주별 익일물 콜금리를 사용해 국면전환 확산과정모형을 추정했다. 일반적인 비선형 추세 함수와 분산 탄력성이 상수인 변동성 함수를 갖는 확산과정모형에서 모수들이 경제상황에 따라...

This paper extends a stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial transaction data to allow for correlation between error processes or innovations of observed duration process and latent log duration process with the aim of improving the statistical fit of the model. Suitable...
