Bayesian dynamic factor models and portfolio allocation

O Aguilar, M West - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2000 - Taylor & Francis
We discuss the development of dynamic factor models for multivariate financial time series,
and the incorporation of stochastic volatility components for latent factor processes …

Identification, estimation and testing of conditionally heteroskedastic factor models

E Sentana, G Fiorentini - Journal of econometrics, 2001 - Elsevier
We investigate the effects of dynamic heteroskedasticity on statistical factor analysis. We
show that identification problems are alleviated when variation in factor variances is …

A coincident index, common factors, and monthly real GDP

RS Mariano, Y Murasawa - Oxford Bulletin of economics and …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Stock–Watson coincident index and its subsequent extensions assume a static
linear one‐factor model for the component indicators. This restrictive assumption is …

A full‐factor multivariate GARCH model

ID Vrontos, P Dellaportas… - The Econometrics Journal, 2003 - academic.oup.com
A new multivariate time series model with time varying conditional variances and
covariances is presented and analysed. A complete analysis of the proposed model is …

Likelihood‐based estimation of latent generalized ARCH structures

G Fiorentini, E Sentana, N Shephard - Econometrica, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
GARCH models are commonly used as latent processes in econometrics, financial
economics, and macroeconomics. Yet no exact likelihood analysis of these models has …

The relation between conditionally heteroskedastic factor models and factor GARCH models

E Sentana - The Econometrics Journal, 1998 - academic.oup.com
The factor GARCH model of Engle (1987) and the latent factor ARCH model of Diebold and
Nerlove (1989) have become rather popular multivariate volatility parametrizations due to …

A spectral EM algorithm for dynamic factor models

G Fiorentini, A Galesi, E Sentana - Journal of Econometrics, 2018 - Elsevier
We make two complementary contributions to efficiently estimate dynamic factor models: a
frequency domain EM algorithm and a swift iterated indirect inference procedure for ARMA …

Modern bayesian factor analysis

HF Lopes - Bayesian Inference in the Social Sciences, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The origin of factor analysis can be traced back to Spearman's (1904) seminal paper on
general intelligence. At the time, psychologists were trying to define intelligence by a single …

On the dependence structure of european vegetable oil markets

R Menier, G Bagnarosa, A Gohin - Applied Economics, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
In light of current high and volatile energy and food prices, we examine the daily dynamics of
the conditional variance-covariance matrix and price discovery in European vegetable oils …

The Likehood Function of Conditionally Heteroskedastic Factor Models

E Sentana - Annales d'Economie et de Statistique, 2000 - JSTOR
We derive the likelihood function and score of factor models with dynamic
heteroskedasticity, and the Kuhn-Tucker conditions defining the inequality restricted …
