Diversification benefits and strategic portfolio allocation across
asset classes: the case of the US markets
We investigate the diversification benefits and optimal portfolio allocation across different US asset classes. Our results from applying the principal component analysis (PCA) show that although there is an increasing trend in market integration, five major financial markets (equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, and real estate) appear to be weakly and at most moderately integrated. Applying […]

A wavelet-based copula approach for modeling market risk
in agricultural commodity markets
We consider the problem of accurate market risk modeling for agricultural commodity products over heterogeneous investment horizons using copulas and wavelet methods. Our results indicate that the degree and structure of the dependence of daily commodity returns on the three market risk fac- tors (federal funds rate, USD/Euro exchange rate, and world stock market ?uctuations) […]

Global Financial Crisis, Extreme
Interdependences, and Contagion Effects:
The Role of Economic Structure
The paper examines the extent of the current global crisis and the contagion effects it induces by conducting an empirical investigation of the extreme financial interde- pendences of some selected emerging markets with the US. Several copula functions that provide the necessary flexibility to capture the dynamic patterns of fat tail as well as linear […]

Modeling nonlinear and heterogeneous dynamic
linkages in international monetary markets
In this paper we examine the dynamic linkages of international monetary markets over the 2004 – 2009 period using daily short-term interbank interest rates of three of the most advanced countries (France, United Kingdom and United States). Empirical results from vector error-correction models (VECM) and smooth transition error-correction models (STECM) indicate strong evidence of nonlinear […]

This paper investigates whether structural breaks and long memory are relevant features in modeling and forecasting the conditional volatility of oil spot and futures prices using three GARCH-type models, i.e., linear GARCH, GARCH with structural breaks...
Forecasting the conditional volatility of oil spot and futures
prices with structural breaks and long memory models
This paper investigates whether structural breaks and long memory are relevant features in modeling and forecasting the conditional volatility of oil spot and futures prices using three GARCH-type models, i.e., linear GARCH, GARCH with structural breaks and FIGARCH. By relying on a modified version of Inclan and Tiao (1994)’s iterated cumulative sum of squares (ICSS) […]

Does macroeconomic transparency help governments be solvent?
Evidence from recent data.
This paper investigates whether macroeconomic and data transparency standards lead to lower borrowing costs in sovereign bond markets. We essentially show that emerging market countries which subscribed to the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) experienced a significant decline in borrowing cost proxied by sovereign yield spreads on secondary markets. However, the adherence of these markets […]
