Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is heavily applied in modelling tail behaviour. Previous literature uses the tail index to test for Structural Breaks (SBs) in the tails. This study presents another more reliable approach and relies on the outperformance of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) in...

This article proposes to use the three multivariate skew distributions (generalized hyperbolic distribution, multivariate skew normal distribution, and multivariate skew Student<italic>-t</italic> distribution) for estimating the minimum variance hedge ratio in a dynamic setting. Three criteria for measuring...
