The Factor-Spline-GARCH Model for High- and Low-Frequency CorrelationsJose Gonzalo RangelGoldman Sachs Group, Inc. - Global Investment Research Robert F. EngleNew York University - Leonard N. Stern School of Business - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); New York University (NYU) - Department of Finance January 31, 2011 Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 109-124, 2012 Abstract: We propose a new approach to model high- and low-frequency components of equity correlations. Our framework combines a factor asset pricing structure with other specifications capturing dynamic properties of volatilities and covariances between a single common factor and idiosyncratic returns. High-frequency correlations mean revert to slowly varying functions that characterize long-term correlation patterns. We associate such term behavior with low-frequency economic variables, including determinants of market and idiosyncratic volatilities. Flexibility in the time-varying level of mean reversion improves both the empirical fit of equity correlations in the U.S. and correlation forecasts at long horizons.
