Abstract:Based on accounts for correlation instabilities in US stock returns and derive VCMs from time-varying factor model estimates.Using three different estimation approaches: (1) moving window least squares, (2) flexible least squares and (3) the random walk model. The paper results suggest that a time-varying estimation of return correlations fits the data considerably better than time-invariant estimation and thus, increases the efficiency of risk estimation and portfolio selection.
