this paper empirically investigates the relationship between cpi inflation uncertainty, and private investment in the iranian economy from 1988 to 2010 by using quarterly data. we employ a bivariate var(5)-garch(1,1)-in-mean with diagonal bekk model to discover in a unified framework how are the interactions between the variables. in the model, conditional variance of inflation and private inve...

Over 20 years ago we reported for the first time the presence of mechanical abnormalities in the contraction pattern of patients with the long QT syndrome (LQTS), showing the presence both of rapid early contraction and of an extended ‘plateau’ phase clearly visible at M-mode Doppler before rapid relaxation. These abnormalities were almost absent in controls and more prevalent among symptomatic...

This paper proposes new methods for the econometric analysis of outlier contaminated multivariate conditionally heteroscedastic time series. Robust alternatives to the Gaussian quasi-maximum likelihood estimator are presented. Under elliptical symmetry of the innovation vector, consistency results for M-estimation of the general conditional heteroscedasticity model are obtained. We also propose...

The purpose of the paper is to discuss ten things potential users should know about the limits of the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) representation for estimating and forecasting time-varying conditional correlations. The reasons given for caution about the use of DCC include the following: DCC represents the dynamic conditional covariances of the standardized residuals, and hence does n...

This paper investigates returns and volatility transmission between SPGCE (S&P Global Clean Energy), SPGO Oil), two non-renewable energy commodities (natural gas crude oil), three products of oil distillation (heating oil, gasoline, propane). We estimate a VAR(1) asymmetric BEKK-MGARCH(1,1) using daily U.S. data from March 1, 2010, to February 25, 2020. The empirical findings reveal vast hetero...
