The Use of Mutual Information to Improve Value-at-Risk Forecasts for Exchange Rates

In this paper, we show a simple but novel approach in an attempt to improve value-at-risk forecasts. We use mutually dependent covariate returns to create exogenous break variables and jointly use the variables to augment GARCH models to account for time-variations and breaks in the unconditional vo...
