title: Three Essays on Volatility Forecasting and Forecast Evaluation creator: Kleen, Onno subject: ddc-310 subject: 310 General statistics subject: ddc-330 subject: 330 Economics description: The three main chapters of this dissertation are self-contained research articles that can be read independently from each other. They all focus on forecasting with financial and macroeconomic data. The analyses in Chapter 1 and 2 are joint works with Christian Conrad. Both focus on forecasting volatility for financial markets. In Chapter 1, we address aggregate stock market volatility and in Chapter 2 stock-specific volatility for investment decisions. Chapter 3 is single-authored and, in contrast to the other two chapters, focuses on the evaluation of distribution forecasts. date: 2020 type: Dissertation type: info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/28723/1/Doktorarbeit%20Onno%20Kleen.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00028723 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-287237 identifier: Kleen, Onno (2020) Three Essays on Volatility Forecasting and Forecast Evaluation.
