Fractional Differencing Modeling and Forecasting of Eurocurrency Deposit Rates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the spectral regression method, we test for long-term stochastic memory in threeand six-month daily returns series of Eurocurrency deposits denominated in major currencies. Significant evidence of positive long-term dependence is found in several Eurocurrency returns series. Compared to benchmark linear models, the estimated fractional models result in dramatic out-of-sample forecasting improvements over longer horizons for the Eurocurrency deposits denominated in German marks, Swiss francs, and

Long Memory and Forecasting in Euroyen Deposit Rates
We test for long memory in 3and 6-month daily returns series on Eurocurrency deposits denominated in Japanese yen (Euroyen). The fractional differencing parameter is estimated using the spectral regression method. The conflicting evidence obtained from the application of tests against a unit root as well as tests against stationarity provides the motivation for testing for fractional roots. Sig...
متن کاملInterest rate linkages in the Eurocurrency market: Contemporaneous and out-of-sample Granger causality tests
This paper examines linkages among major Eurocurrency interest rates during 19942002. Eurocurrency interest rate causal linkages are found to be much stronger with additional allowance for contemporaneous causality test results than the inference based solely on Granger causality tests. The impact of U.S. interest rates is clearly not dominant in the Eurocurrency markets, while the Japanese int...
متن کاملExponential Smoothing, Long Memory and Volatility Prediction
Extracting and forecasting the volatility of financial markets is an important empirical problem. Time series of realized volatility or other volatility proxies, such as squared returns, display long range dependence. Exponential smoothing (ES) is a very popular and successful forecasting and signal extraction scheme, but it can be suboptimal for long memory time series. This paper discusses po...
متن کاملپیشبینی خشکسالی هیدرولوژیک با استفاده از سریهای زمانی
INTRODUCTION Hydrologic drought in the sense of deficient river flow is defined as the periods that river flow does not meet the needs of planned programs for system management. Drought is generally considered as periods with insignificant precipitation, soil moisture and water resources for sustaining and supplying the socioeconomic activities of a region. Thus, it is difficult to give a univ...
متن کاملPersistence in International Inflation Rates
We test for fractional dynamics in CPI-based inflation rates for twenty-seven countries and WPI-based inflation rates for twenty-two countries. The fractional differencing parameter is estimated using semiparametric and approximate maximum likelihood methods. Significant evidence of fractional dynamics with long-memory features is found in both CPIand WPI-based inflation rates for industrial as...
