Volatility forecasting in the Chinese commodity futures market with intraday data
TLDR
In this article, the authors used contracts with three months to delivery, the most liquid contract series, to systematically explore volatility forecasting for aluminum, copper, fuel oil, and sugar at daily and three intraday sampling frequencies.Abstract:
Given the unique institutional regulations in the Chinese commodity futures market as well as the characteristics of the data it generates, we utilize contracts with three months to delivery, the most liquid contract series, to systematically explore volatility forecasting for aluminum, copper, fuel oil, and sugar at the daily and three intraday sampling frequencies. We adopt popular volatility models in the literature and assess the forecasts obtained via these models against alternative proxies for the true volatility. Our results suggest that the long memory property is an essential feature in the commodity futures volatility dynamics and that the ARFIMA model consistently produces the best forecasts or forecasts not inferior to the best in statistical terms.read more

A novel text-based framework for forecasting agricultural futures using massive online news headlines
TL;DR: A text-based forecasting framework is proposed, which can effectively identify and quantify factors affecting agricultural futures based on massive online news headlines and performs significantly better in medium-term and long-term forecasting than the benchmark model.

Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity
Tim Bollerslev,Tim Bollerslev +1 more
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.

Illiquidity and stock returns: cross-section and time-series effects $
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that expected market illiquidity positively affects ex ante stock excess return, suggesting that expected stock ex ante excess return partly represents an illiquid price premium, which complements the cross-sectional positive return-illiquidity relationship.

Comparing Predictive Accuracy
TL;DR: In this article, explicit tests of the null hypothesis of no difference in the accuracy of two competing forecasts are proposed and evaluated, and asymptotic and exact finite-sample tests are proposed, evaluated and illustrated.

Illiquidity and Stock Returns: Cross-Section and Time-Series Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of stock illiquidity on stock return have been investigated and it was shown that expected market illiquidities positively affects ex ante stock excess return (usually called risk premium) over time.

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.
