Most pricing and hedging models rely on the long run temporal stability of a sample covariance matrix. Using a large dataset of equity prices from four countries, the US, UK, Japan and Germany, we test the rolling stability of realized sample covariance matrices using two complementary...

We document the changes in dynamic stochastic structure of the various industrial sectors of the Chinese A, B share markets and the Hong Kong share markets. We utilize a robustly estimated VECM-MV-GARCH model to test for possible co-integrating vectors between the market segmentations pre and...

This paper examines incorporation of higher moments in portfolio selection problems utilizing high frequency data. Our approach combines innovations from the realized volatility literature with a portfolio selection methodology utilising higher moments. We provide an empirical study of the...
