The purpose of the paper is to show some methods of extreme value theory through analysis of Pakistani financial data. It also introduced the fundamental of extreme value theory as well as practical aspects for estimating and assessing financial models for tail related risk measures.

This study explores the fundamental driving forces of regional equity market integration. The determinant factors are categorized into three dimensions: market attribute, economic fundamentals and world information. My sample consists of equity markets in 4 notable regional trading blocs: Latin...

This note conducts recursive Monte Carlo experiments on the Bartlett correction for a likelihood-based test on cointegrating vectors. The experiments show that the correction can reduce size distortions even in situations where regularity conditions for I(1) cointegration analysis are satisfied...

This paper proposes a specification of Wooldridge's (1995) two step estimation method in which selectivity bias is due to two sources rather than one. The main objective of the paper is to show how the method can be applied in practise. The application concerns an important problem in health...

This paper presents a method for selection of the optimal simultaneous equation system from a set of nested models under the condition of a small sample. The purpose of selection is to identify a model with the best prognostic possibilities. Multivariate AIC, BIC and AICC are used as the...

This paper compares the power of alternative tests for the level moment conditions in GMM estimation of a linear dynamic panel data model. The test statistic calculated conventionally can take on a negative value in finite samples even though it cannot be asymptotically. A straightforward...

This article investigates the evolution of the Asian stock market integration with the regional one. First, we estimate the time-varying degree of Asian market integration using conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) with DCC-GARCH para-meters. Secondly, we...

This paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of the t-ratio associated to an irrelevant variable in a three-variable cointegration analysis. It is proved that the t-ratio converges to a non-standard distribution suitable for statistical inference. Although the test-statistic is not pivotal...

This study investigates the income convergence hypothesis between Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Costa Rica using a unit root test developed by Kapetanios, Shin and Snell (2003) (KSS) which tests the joint null hypothesis of linearity and a unit root against a nonlinear stationary process. In a...

We propose to estimate heteroskedastic dynamic factor models using the Kalman filter, where the state vector is augmented with the heteroskedastic disturbances. Although this model is not conditionally Gaussian, Monte Carlo results show that parameters can be accurately estimated.
