Abstract

The popularity of Kalman filter is increasing in financial studies, notably to estimate diffusion processes. In this article, we show how we can use it to forecast the volatility of returns and the price-earnings ratio of the S&P500. The Kalman filter is consequently very versatile when variables, as volatility or forecasted price-earnings ratio, are unobserved. But the forecaster must use his judgment when he uses the Kalman filter. An error of specification in the model may give way to very biased forecasts.
