Empfohlene Voraussetzungen (prerequisites):

You should have visited one of the following modules:

  • W4451 Financial Econometrics and Quantitative Risk Managment
  • W2453 Angewandte Zeitreihenanalyse und Einführung in die Finanzökonometrie
  • or a comparable time series course at another university
  • Inhalte (short description):

    ​This is an advanced lecture in time series analysis developed based on basic knowledge in time series. Hence, one of our Master modules W4451 or Bachelor modules W2453, or a comparable module that you have visited at another university is a necessary requirement. The main topics of this module will be divided into two parts: Part 1: Advanced linear time series models, including the analysis of time series with seasonality and different calendar effects, multivariate time series models as well as long memory time series models; and Part 2: advanced topics of non-linear and functional time series, including long memory volatility and duration models, multivariate volatility and correlation models, volatility and correlation measures based on high-frequency financial data as well as the analysis of functional time series with short or long memory. The focuses are on the introduction of the theory and methods, practical implementation in R and their application in forecasting and decision making. Practical implementation in Python will be discussed as well, given that suitable Python packages are available. Application to economic and financial time series, particularly in sustainable economics and finance, will be strongly emphasised. Semiparametric extensions of corresponding approaches under non-stationary component time series models will be described as far as possible.
