Weak Diffusion Limits of Dynamic Conditional Correlation Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived weak diffusion limits of a modified version of the classical DCC model, which is characterized by a diffusion matrix of reduced rank, where the degeneracy is due to perfect collinearity between the innovations of the volatility and correlation dynamics.

Abstract: The properties of dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models, introduced more than a decade ago, are still not entirely known. This paper fills one of the gaps by deriving weak diffusion limits of a modified version of the classical DCC model. The limiting system of stochastic differential equations is characterized by a diffusion matrix of reduced rank. The degeneracy is due to perfect collinearity between the innovations of the volatility and correlation dynamics. For the special case of constant conditional correlations, a nondegenerate diffusion limit can be obtained. Alternative sets of conditions are considered for the rate of convergence of the parameters, obtaining time-varying but deterministic variances and/or correlations. A Monte Carlo experiment confirms that the often used quasi-approximate maximum likelihood (QAML) method to estimate the diffusion parameters is inconsistent for any fixed frequency, but that it may provide reasonable approximations for sufficiently large frequencies and sample sizes.

TL;DR: In this article, a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model whose error vector consists of independent non-Gaussian components is identified and leads to essentially unique impulse responses.

Oil Volatility Risk and Expected Stock Returns
Peter Christoffersen,Xuhui Pan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that increases in oil price uncertainty predict tightening funding constraints of financial intermediaries suggesting a link between oil volatility risk and the stock market, and that stocks' exposure to oil volatility risks now drives the cross-section of expected returns.

TL;DR: In this paper, a natural generalization of the ARCH (Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedastic) process introduced in 1982 to allow for past conditional variances in the current conditional variance equation is proposed.

Dynamic Conditional Correlation: A Simple Class of Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Models
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of multivariate models called dynamic conditional correlation models is proposed, which have the flexibility of univariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models coupled with parsimonious parametric models for the correlations.

Modelling the Coherence in Short-run Nominal Exchange Rates: A Multivariate Generalized ARCH Model.
TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate time series model with time varying conditional variances and covariances but with constant conditional correlations is proposed, which is readily interpreted as an extension of the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model allowing for heteroskedasticity.

A long memory property of stock market returns and a new model
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte-Carlo analysis of stock market returns was conducted and it was found that not only there is substantially more correlation between absolute returns than returns themselves, but the power transformation of the absolute return also has quite high autocorrelation for long lags.
