Abstract

This paper aims at enhancing the understanding of long-range dependence (LRD) by focusing on mechanisms for generating this dependence, namely persistence of signs and/or persistence of magnitudes beyond what can be expected under weak dependence. These concepts are illustrated through a discussion of fractional Brownian noise of index H ∈ (0,1) and it is shown that LRD in signs holds if and only if ½ < H < 1 and LRD in magnitudes if and only if ¾ ≤ H < 1. An application to discrimination between two risky asset finance models, the FATGBM model of Heyde and the multifractal model of Mandelbrot, is given to illustrate the use of the ideas.
