This paper suggests a goodness-of-fit test for parametric families of Archimedean copulas for high dimensional distributions. The test statistic is based on the classical chi-square-statistic but has a nonstandard asymptotic distribution. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the test keeps the...

Recently various exchange rate models capturing the dynamics during the transition from an exchange rate arrangement of floating rates into a currency union have been derived. Technically, these stochastic equilibrium models are diffusion processes which have to be estimated by discretely...
