We introduce a multivariate multiplicative error model which is driven by componentspecific observation driven dynamics as well as a common latent autoregressive factor. The model is designed to explicitly account for (information driven) common factor dynamics as well as idiosyncratic effects...

This paper investigates the intraday response of T-bond futures pricesto surprises in headline figures of U.S. macroeconomic reports. Analyzing thetime series properties and the information content of the macroeconomic newsflow, the paper seeks an answer to the question, what determines the...

The distinction between stationarity, difference stationarity, deterministic trends as well as between short- and long-range dependence has a major impact on statistical conclusions, such as confidence intervals for population quantities or point and interval forecasts. In this paper, recent...

We study the impact of individual and temporal aggregation in linear static and dynamic models for panel data in terms of model specification and efficiency of the estimated parameters. Model wise we find that i) individual aggregation does not affect the model structure but temporal aggregation...

We present a unified and up-to-date overview of temporal aggregation techniques for univariate and multivariate time series models explaining in detail, although intuitively, the technical machinery behind the results. Some empirical applications illustrate the main issues
