The US Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate: Structural Modeling and Forecasting During the Recent Financial Crises

The paper investigates the determinants of the US dollar/euro within the framework of the asset pricing theory of exchange rate determination, which posits that current exchange rate fluctuations are determined by the entire path of current and future revisions in expectations about fundamentals. In this perspective, we innovate by conditioning on Fama–French and Carhart risk factors, which directly measures changing market expectations about the economic outlook, on new financial condition indexes and macroeconomic variables. The macro‐finance augmented econometric model has a remarkable in‐sample and out‐of‐sample predictive ability, largely outperforming a standard autoregressive specification. We also document a stable relationship between the US dollar/euro Carhart momentum conditional correlation (CCW) and the euro area business cycle. CCW signals a progressive weakening in economic conditions since June 2014, consistent with the scattered recovery from the sovereign debt crisis and the new Greek solvency crisis exploded in late spring/early summer 2015.

Forward Rates,Monetary Policy and the Economic Cycle

The short end of the yield curve incorporates essential information to forecast central banks' decisions, but in a biased manner. This article proposes a new method to forecast the Fed and the European Central Bank's decision rate by correcting the swap rates for their cyclical economic premium, using an affine term structure model. The corrected yields offer a higher out‐of‐sample forecasting power than the yields themselves. They also deliver forecasts that are either comparable or better than those obtained with a factor‐augmented vector autoregressive model, underlining the fact that yields are likely to contain at least as much information regarding monetary policy as a dataset composed of economic data series.

Forecasting VaR models under Different Volatility Processes and Distributions of Return Innovations

This paper provides clear‐cut evidence that the out‐of‐sample VaR (value‐at‐risk) forecasting performance of alternative parametric volatility models, like EGARCH (exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) or GARCH, and Markov regime‐switching models, can be considerably improved if they are combined with skewed distributions of asset return innovations. The performance of these models is found to be similar to that of the EVT (extreme value theory) approach. The performance of the latter approach can also be improved if asset return innovations are assumed to be skewed distributed. The performance of the Markov regime‐switching model is considerably improved if this model allows for EGARCH effects, for all different volatility regimes considered.

考虑专家信息的威布尔型产品定时截尾可靠性验收试验方案设计

可靠性验收试验是检验产品是否达到可靠性要求而进行的试验。试验方案的确定需要保证使用方风险和生产方风险可控。当前GJB899A中定时截尾试验方案往往需要较长的试验时间,短时试验方案又存在两类风险较大的问题,实际应用颇受诟病。根本原因在于GJB899A的试验方案确定只考虑了系统试验数据,而忽视了其多源信息。因此,本文针对复杂系统验收试验前存在多种形式专家信息,考虑系统寿命服从威布尔分布的情况,结合专家信息来计算产品在给定试验方案下的两类风险,进一步推导得到试验时间较短、风险可控的试验方案。文章最后给出了案例分析,通过对比,验证了所提方法的有效性。

有偏胖尾分布下的金融市场风险测度方法

通过对上证综指和世界股市若干重要指数收益的统计特征分析发现,无论是成熟资本市场还是新兴资本市场,其收益分布都展现出较为显著的“有偏”和“尖峰胖尾”特征,因此,主流金融理论假定的正态分布或对称学生分布都无法全面准确刻画股市收益的真实分布特征和风险状况。通过引入有偏的学生分布,分析和对比了不同收益分布假定下的市场波动率和风险价值计算方法,并利用风险价值的失败率似然比检验以及动态分位数回归检验法,实证分析了不同分布模型的适用范围和精确程度,探讨了非正态分布假定下的金融市场风险测度方法。
