Since their introduction, quanto options have steadily gained popularity. Matching Black-Scholes-type pricing models and, more recently, a fat-tailed, normal tempered stable variant have been established. The objective here is to empirically assess the adequacy of quanto-option pricing models....

This paper uses simulation-based portfolio optimization to mitigate the left tail risk of the portfolio. The contribution is twofold. (i) We propose the Markov regime-switching GARCH model with multivariate normal tempered stable innovation (MRS-MNTS-GARCH) to accommodate fat tails, volatility...

We investigate the use of a P-spline generalized additive hedonic model (GAM) for real estate prices in large U.S. cities, contrasting their predictive efficiency against commonly used linear and polynomial-based generalized linear models (GLM). Using intrinsic and extrinsic factors available...
