A Structural Matrix Autoregressive Model for the Joint Dynamics of Volume, Volatility, and Returns (opens in new tab)

This paper proposes a Structural Matrix Autoregressive (SMAR) model for the joint analysis of asset returns, realized volatility, and trading volume in a large-dimensional setting. This framework simultaneously captures dynamic spillovers across financial variables and cross-sectional dependence across assets while preserving a parsimonious parameterization relative to conventional vector autoregressive models. The model is estimated on daily ...
