The paper advances the log-generalized gamma distribution as a suitable generator of conditional skewness. Based on the NYSE composite daily returns an asMA-asQGARCH model along with skewness dynamics is estimated. The results indicate a skewness that varies between sizeable negative skewness...

nonlinear relationship between debt and growth is very sensitive to modelling choices. We also show that when nonlinearity is …
