less success in capturing the effects of extreme observations, outliers and skewness in returns. This paper examines the … GARCH model under various non-normal error distributions in order to evaluate skewness and leptokurtosis. The empirical … estimated under normality, in terms of: (i) capturing skewness and leptokurtosis; (ii) the maximized log-likelihood values; and …
