This paper introduces a new class of multivariate volatility models which is easy to estimate using covariance targeting, even with rich dynamics. We call them rotated ARCH (RARCH) models. The basic structure is to rotate the returns and then to ?t them using a BEKK-type parameterization of the...

This paper introduces a new class of multivariate volatility models that utilizes high-frequency data. We discuss the models dynamics and highlight their di¤erences from multivariate GARCH models. We also discuss their covariance targeting specification and provide closed-form formulas for...

This paper illustrates some computationally efficient estimation procedures for the estimation of vast dimensional realized covariance models. In particular, we derive a Composite Maximum Likelihood (CML) estimator for the parameters of a Conditionally Autoregressive Wishart (CAW) model...

This paper introduces a new class of multivariate volatility models that utilizes high-frequency data.  We discuss the models' dynamics and highlight their differences from multivariate GARCH models.  We also discuss their covariance targeting specification and provide closed-form formulas...

New dynamic models for realized covariance matrices are proposed. The expected value of the realized covariance matrix is specified in two steps: one for each realized variance, and one for the realized correlation matrix. The realized correlation model is a scalar dynamic conditional...
