abstract exchange rate volatility is one of the effective and ambiguous factors in agricultural products export. regarding the importance of agricultural trade, to avoid single-product economy, the main aim of this study is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on the pistachio export of iran during 1338-1386. for this purpose, exchange rate volatility index was estimated using ...

It is well-known that causal forecasting methods that include appropriately chosen Exogenous Variables (EVs) very often present improved forecasting performances over univariate methods. However, in practice, EVs are usually difficult to obtain and in many cases are not available at all. In this paper, a new causal forecasting approach, called Wavelet Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average w...

There is a compelling need to accurately and efficiently compute option values. Existing literature shows that models based on constant stock volatilities have been widely used in option valuation. However, stock volatilities change constantly in real life situations. The introduction of the Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model and subsequently, the Generalized Auto Regre...

In this paper, we have examined 4 models for Great Salt Lake level forecasting: ARMA (Auto-Regression and Moving Average), ARFIMA (Auto-Regressive Fractional Integral and Moving Average), GARCH (Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) and FIGARCH (Fractional Integral Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity). Through our empirical data analysis where we div...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are very powerful tool in modern quantitative finance and have immerged as a powerful statistical modeling technology. This paper focuses on the problem of estimation of volatility of Indian Stock market. It begins with volatility calculation by Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (ARCH), & Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARC...

Fossil energy markets have always been known as strategic and important markets. They have a significant impact on the macro economy and financial markets of the world. The nature of these markets are accompanied by sudden shocks and volatility in the prices. Therefore, they must be controlled and forecasted by using appropriate tools. This paper adopts the Generalized Auto Regressive Condition...

Great Salt Lake (GSL) is the largest salt lake in the western hemisphere, the fourthlargest terminal lake in the world. The elevation of GSL has critical effect on the people who live nearby and their properties. It is crucial to build an exact model of GSL elevation time series in order to predict the GSL elevation precisely. Although some models, such as ARIMA or FARIMA (fractional auto-regre...

To capture the missed information in the standardized errors by parametric multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (MV-GARCH) model, we propose a new semiparametric MV-GARCH (SM-GARCH) model. This SM-GARCH model is a twostep model: firstly estimating parametric MV-GARCH model, then using nonparametric skills to model the conditional covariance matrix of the standa...
