About the Lab

Professor Seunghwa Rho's research lab specializes in financial econometrics and applied time series analysis, with a focus on modeling long memory in financial volatility, particularly realized volatility. The lab investigates the interplay between long-memory dynamics, structural breaks, jumps, and nonlinearities using advanced econometric models such as the Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) framework, fractionally integrated processes, and time-varying parameter models. Recent work also extends into distributional regression and quantile-based analysis, especially in understanding the role of financial conditions in macroeconomic volatility. The lab integrates robust statistical methods with real-world data to address systemic risk and financial stability issues.

Long Memory, Realized Volatility and Heterogeneous Autoregressive Models
Richard T. Baillie, Fabio Calonaci, Dooyeon Cho, Seunghwa Rho
SJR Q1Journal of Time Series Analysis

The presence of long memory in realized volatility ( RV ) is a widespread stylized fact. The origins of long memory in RV have been attributed to jumps, structural breaks, contemporaneous aggregation, nonlinearities, or pure long memory. An important development has been the heterogeneous autoregressive ( HAR ) model and its extensions. This article assesses the separate roles of fractionally integrated long memory models, extended HAR models and time varying parameter HAR models. We find that t

Reassessing growth vulnerability
Dooyeon Cho, Seunghwa Rho
SJR Q1Journal of Applied Econometrics

Summary This paper replicates the results of Adrian et al. ( American Economic Review , 2019) that GDP growth volatility is mainly driven by the lower quantiles of the distribution which is predicted by the financial condition. It extends their study by estimating the model with the IVX‐QR estimator of Lee ( Journal of Econometrics , 2016) and double weighted estimator of Cai et al. ( Journal of Econometrics , 2022) considering that the financial condition index is highly serially correlated. Bo

Physical and Psychological Burden among Caregivers of Latinx Older Adults with Stroke and Multimorbidity
Shilpa Krishnan, H Chen, Sarah Caston, Seunghwa Rho
SJR Q1Ethnicity & DiseaseOA

Objective: To investigate the association between Latinx older adults' stroke, multimorbidity, and caregiver burden. Methods: For this retrospective cohort study, we used the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (H-EPESE) Wave-7 data set. The caregiver's physical burden was defined by using the Level of Burden Index. The caregiver's psychological burden was measured by using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4). Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of 3
