Multivariate time varying volatility models have attracted a lot of attention in modern finance theory. We provide an empirical study of some multivariate ARCH and GARCH models that already exist in the literature and have attracted a lot of practical interest. Bayesian and classical techniques...

In this paper, a Bayesian approach is suggested to compare unit root models with stationary autoregressive models when both the level and the error variance are subject to structural changes (known as breaks) of an unknown date. Ignoring structural breaks in the error variance may be responsible...
