In this study we compare different volatility models on their ability to forecast one day ahead volatility and value-at-risk (VaR). We compare five different GARCH specifications: GARCH, IGARCH, GJR-GARCH, EGARCH and APARCH, as well as EWMA, each paired with six different conditional distributions. These models are used to forecast volatility and VaR one day ahead using daily return data from the

Most exporting firms in the world also import foreign inputs in production. Recent findings elucidate the importance of imports as a driver of firm productivity on the amount of goods exported. This study aims at investigating the correlation between imports and firm productivity, not the causality. It will add to previous research by shifting focus from import participation to import intensity an
