This article proposes omnibus specification tests of parametric dynamic quantile models. Contrary to the existing procedures, we allow for a flexible specification, where a possibly continuum of quantiles are simultaneously specified under fairly weak conditions on the serial dependence in the...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the extreme values of a stochastic volatility model when the noise follows a generalized error distribution extreme. We provide a Monte Carlo experiment to illustrate th choice of the assumptions. We deal also with the finite sample behaviour of the...

This chapter recalls the main tools useful to compute Value at Risk associated with a m-dimensional portfolio. Then, the limitations of the use of these tools is explained, as soon as non-stationarities are observed in time series. Indeed, specific behaviours observed by financial assets, like...

In this paper we perform a Monte Carlo study based on three well-known semiparametric estimates for the long memory fractional parameter. We study the efficiency of Geweke and Porter-Hudak, Gaussian semiparametric and wavelet Ordinary Least-Square estimates in both stationary and non stationary...

Measuring the risk of a financial portfolio involves two steps: estimating the loss distribution of the portfolio from available observations and computing a ``risk measure" which summarizes the risk of the portfolio. We define the notion of ``risk measurement procedure", which includes both of...
