The DCC-MIDAS model (Colacito et al., 2011) naturally extends the GARCH-MIDAS model to dynamic correlations. As in Conrad,Loch, and Rittler (2014), we extend the specification by allowing the long-run correlation to depend directly on the lagged sentiment. Inthis paper, the conditional correlation between stock and bond market returns is given as Rt ¼ diagðQt Þ1=2Qt diagðQt Þ1=2, where Qt isthe short-run correlation component. Further, we define qij;t as the elements in Qt :
