Hi Tom,
Can the HAR model (and variations) be applied to generate daily VaR and ES forecasts, long and short positions?

HAR model
Re: HAR model
Not really. That takes volatility (estimated from high frequency data) as the input data and it's proposed as a simple alternative to models with fractional differencing (which have a lot of technical issues).
