In this paper we consider an incomplete market framework and explain how to use jointly observed prices of the underlying asset and of some deriv- atives written on this asset for an efficient pricing of other derivatives. This question involves two types of moment restrictions, which can be...

This paper studies the local robustness of estimators and tests for the conditional location and scale parameters in a strictly stationary time series model. We first derive optimal bounded-influence estimators for such settings under a conditionally Gaussian reference model. Based on these...

We propose a new multivariate DCC-GARCH model that extends existing approaches by admitting multivariate thresholds in conditional volatilities and conditional correlations. Model estimation is numerically feasible in large dimensions and positive semi-definiteness of conditional covariance...
