Having observed a cluster of jumps produced by an exponential Hawkes process, we study and quantify the residual length of the cluster. We then formalize the stochastic increasingness property of the durations between two consecutive jumps, which strengthens their positive correlation. Finally...

Having observed a cluster of jumps in the discrete prices of a financial asset, we study and quantify the probability that the cluster is going to produce further jumps.Modeling the jump arrival times with an exponential Hawkes process, we provide some bounds for the future stochastic jump...

We consider an extension of the variance-gamma process implying that the linear drift rate of the process can switch suddenly by a jump. The value of jump is modeled by the multidimensional distribution, the jump time is simulated by the exponential distribution. Together with the simplest...

This paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for high-dimensional time series data potentially sampled at different frequencies. The sparse-group LASSO estimator can take advantage of such time series data structures and outperforms the unstructured LASSO. We establish oracle...

Time series observed at higher frequencies than monthly frequency display complex seasonal patterns that result from the combination of multiple seasonal patterns (with annual, monthly, weekly and daily periodicities) and varying periods, due to the irregularity of the calendar. The paper deals...

We construct shock elasticities that are pricing counterparts to impulse response functions. Recall that impulse response functions measure the importance of next-period shocks for future values of a time series. Shock elasticities measure the contributions to the price and to the expected...

The paper deals with the construction of a synthetic indicator of economic growth, obtained by projecting a quarterly measure of aggregate economic activity, namely gross domestic product (GDP), into the space spanned by a finite number of smooth principal components, representative of the...

The three most popular univariate conditional volatility models are the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model of Engle (1982) and Bollerslev (1986), the GJR (or threshold GARCH) model of Glosten, Jagannathan and Runkle (1992), and the exponential GARCH (or...

In this paper, we analyze new possibilities in predicting daily ranges, i.e. differences between daily high and low prices. We empirically assess efficiency gains in volatility estimation when using range-based estimators as opposed to simple daily ranges and explore the use of these more...
