Bayesian Optimal Portfolio Selection in the MSF-SBEKK Model
Journal Title: Dynamic Econometric Models - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the predictive properties of the MSF-Scalar BEKK(1,1) model in context of portfolio optimization. The MSF-SBEKK model has been proposed as a feasible tool for analyzing multidimensional financial data (large n), but this research examines forecasting abilities of this model for n = 2, since for bivariate data we can obtain and compare predictive distributions of the portfolio in many other multivariate SV specifications. Also, approximate posterior results in the MSF-SBEKK model (based on preliminary estimates of nuisance matrix parameters) are compared with the exact ones.

Volatility Estimators in Econometric Analysis of Risk Transfer on Capital Markets
The purpose of the research is to compare the performance of different volatility measures while used in testing for causality in risk between several emerging and mature capital markets. The following volatility estimat...
The Share of European Economies in the Process of Convergence of Long-term Interest Rates in the EU in the Period of 2006–2016
The paper refers to the process of convergence of interest rates of ten-year government bonds emitted by EU countries. It is an attempt to assess the participation of particular European economies in this process. The pr...
The Application of Hidden Markov Models to the Analysis of Real Convergence
This paper employs hidden Markov models and the Viterbi path to analyze the process of real convergence. Such an approach combines the analysis of cyclical and income-level convergence. Twelve macroeconomic variables in...
The Expectations Hypothesis of the Term Structure of LIBOR US Dollar Interest Rates
Using the monthly sampled data on LIBOR US dollar interest rates and maturities ranging from 1 to 12 months from 1995 to 2009 we provide with a number of tests of the expectations hypothesis based on a 3-variable VAR all...
Measuring Nonlinear Serial Dependencies Using the Mutual Information Coefficient
Construction, estimation and application of the mutual information measure have been presented in this paper. The simulations have been carried out to verify its usefulness to detect nonlinear serial dependencies. Moreov...
