[BOOK][B] Handbook of volatility models and their applications

L Bauwens, CM Hafner, S Laurent - 2012 - books.google.com
A complete guide to the theory and practice of volatility models in financial engineering
Volatility has become a hot topic in this era of instant communications, spawning a great deal of …

Dynamic stochastic copula models: Estimation, inference and applications

CM Hafner, H Manner - Journal of applied econometrics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a new dynamic copula model in which the parameter characterizing dependence
follows an autoregressive process. As this model class includes the Gaussian copula with …

Testing for bubbles in cryptocurrencies with time-varying volatility

CM Hafner - Journal of Financial Econometrics, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The recent evolution of cryptocurrencies has been characterized by bubble-like behavior and
extreme volatility. While it is difficult to assess an intrinsic value to a specific cryptocurrency…

[HTML][HTML] On asymptotic theory for multivariate GARCH models

CM Hafner, A Preminger - Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 2009 - Elsevier
… For m = 4 , we find by simulations 2 that γ 4 ( Δ ) = − 0.1411 < 0 . Our first result is based on …

[BOOK][B] Statistics of financial markets

J Franke, WK Härdle, CM Hafner - 2004 - Springer
Universitext is a series of textbooks that presents material from a wide variety of mathematical
disciplines at master’s level and beyond. The books, often well classtested by their author, …

Volatility impulse responses for multivariate GARCH models: An exchange rate illustration

CM Hafner, H Herwartz - Journal of International Money and Finance, 2006 - Elsevier
We introduce a new concept of impulse response functions tracing the effects of independent
shocks on volatility through time while avoiding typical orthogonalization and ordering …

A Lagrange multiplier test for causality in variance

CM Hafner, H Herwartz - Economics letters, 2006 - Elsevier
We adapt the Lagrange multiplier (LM) principle to test for noncausality in variance of financial
returns. The new test is compared with a Portmanteau statistic [Cheung, YW, Ng, LK, 1996…

On the estimation of dynamic conditional correlation models

CM Hafner, O Reznikova - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 2012 - Elsevier
The maximum likelihood estimator applied to the dynamic conditional correlation model is
severely biased in high dimensions. This is, in particular, the case where the cross-section …

[HTML][HTML] Sentiment-induced bubbles in the cryptocurrency market

CYH Chen, CM Hafner - Journal of Risk and Financial Management, 2019 - mdpi.com
Cryptocurrencies lack clear measures of fundamental values and are often associated with
speculative bubbles. This paper introduces a new way of testing for speculative bubbles …

Efficient estimation of a multivariate multiplicative volatility model

CM Hafner, O Linton - Journal of econometrics, 2010 - Elsevier
We propose a multivariate generalization of the multiplicative volatility model of Engle and
Rangel (2008), which has a nonparametric long run component and a unit multivariate …
