An alternative conditional asymmetry specification for stock returns

Brännäs, Kurt; Nordman, Niklas - 2001

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...
