We propose a novel class of models in which the crash hazard rate is determined by a function of a non-local estimation … of mispricing. Rooted in behavioral finance, the non-local estimation embodies in particular the characteristic of … series because they assume that crashes occur in a single large negative jump, which is counterfactual. The model estimation …
