When the uni-variate risk measure analysis is generalized into the multi-variate setting, many complex theoretical and applied problems arise, and therefore the mathematical models used for risk quantification usually present model risk. As a result, regulators have started to require that the...

This paper develops an approach based on Gram-Charlier-like expansions for modeling financial series to take in due account features such as leptokurtosis. A Gram-Charlier-like expansion adjusts the moments of interest of a given distribution via its own orthogonal polynomials. This approach,...
