A New Approach to Volatility Modeling: The Factorial Hidden Markov Volatility Model
A new process—the factorial hidden Markov volatility (FHMV) model—is proposed to model financial returns or realized variances. Its dynamics are driven by a latent volatility process specified as a product of three components: a Markov chain controlling volatility persistence, an independent discrete process capable of generating jumps in the volatility, and a predictable (data-driven) process capturing the leverage effect. An economic interpreta…
Autoregressive Moving Average Infinite Hidden Markov-Switching Models
Markov-switching models are usually specified under the assumption that all the parameters change when a regime switch occurs. Relaxing this hypothesis and being able to detect which parameters evolve over time is relevant for interpreting the changes in the dynamics of the series, for specifying models parsimoniously, and may be helpful in forecasting. We propose the class of sticky infinite hidden Markov-switching autoregressive moving average …
Modeling the Dependence of Conditional Correlations on Market Volatility
Several models have been developed to capture the dynamics of the conditional correlations between time series of financial returns and several studies have shown that the market volatility is a major determinant of the correlations. We extend some models to include explicitly the dependence of the correlations on the market volatility. The models differ by the way—linear or nonlinear, direct or indirect—in which the volatility influences the cor…

Bayesian Inference in Dynamic Disequilibrium Models: An Application to the Polish Credit Market
We review Bayesian inference for dynamic latent variable models using the data augmentation principle. We detail the difficulties of simulating dynamic latent variables in a Gibbs sampler. We propose an alternative specification of the dynamic disequilibrium model which leads to a simple simulation procedure and renders Bayesian inference fully operational. Identification issues are discussed. We conduct a specification search using the posterior…

Bayesian Inference in Dynamic Disequilibrium Models: An Application to the Polish Credit Market
A New Class of Multivariate Skew Densities, With Application to Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity Models
We propose a practical and flexible method to introduce skewness in multivariate symmetric distributions. Applying this procedure to the multivariate Student density leads to a “multivariate skew-Student” density in which each marginal has a specific asymmetry coefficient. Combined with a multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model, this new family of distributions is found to be more useful than its symmetric cou…

Ranking Economics Departments in Europe: A Statistical Approach
We provide a ranking of economics departments in Europe and we discuss the methods used to obtain it. The JEL CD-ROM serves as a database for a period covering 10 years. Journals are ranked using a combination of expert opinions and citation data to produce a scale from 1 to 10. The publication output and habits of fifteen European countries plus California are then compared. Individuals with a contribution greater than a predetermined minimum le…
Estimating End-use Demand: A Bayesian Approach
Eliminating negative end-use or appliance-consumption estimates and incorporating direct-metering information into the process of generating these estimates—these are two important aspects of conditional demand analysis that will be the focus of this article. In both cases a Bayesian approach seems a natural way of proceeding. What needs to be investigated is whether it is also a viable and effective approach. In addition, such a framework natura…
