Given a general squared matrix M (λ) with a parameter dependence, we can find its eigenvalues and eigenvectors at second order in λ taking the following steps: • Expand the matrix M (λ) in λ up to the second power; M (λ) = M0 + λM1 + λ2M2 + O(λ3) . (A.9) •...
results(West and Cho, 1995).Jorion(1995)found that volatility forecasts for several major currencies from the GARCH model were outperformed by implied volatilities generated from the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.These studies typically used the squared daily return as the variable to be fore-ca...
conventional econometric (structural) forecasts in terms of mean squared prediction error and other reasonable criteria. However, this fact does not mean that structural forecasts should be discarded in favour of nonstructural time series approaches. First, it is well known that structural ...
where a is surface albedo; R s is incoming shortwave radiation (W m -2 ) measured with pyranometers or calculated using the solar constant, the cosine of the solar incidence angle, the inverse squared relativ e earth-sun distance, and atmospheric transmissivity based on the area of interest ...
