This paper make an overview of the copula theory from a practical side. We consider different methods of copula estimation and different Goodness-of-Fit tests for model selection. In the GoF section we apply Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer-von-Mises type tests and calculate power of these tests...

The objective of this paper is to provide a complete framework to aggregate different quantile and expectile models for obtaining more diversified Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall measures, by applying the diversification principle to model risk. Following Taylor (2008) and Gouriéroux and...

Nous proposons dans cet article un modèle théorique pour analyser les conséquences de la concurrence dans les réseaux dotés des systèmes technologiques différents. Nous nous inspirons du modèle de Demange-Ponssard (1986), en mettant l’accent sur l'incompatibilité des technologies...

We develop a geographical-based vibrancy index using important location characteristics that measure local economic health. We show that local vibrancy is associated with future firm outcomes, including investment, leverage, profitability, and firm value. More vibrant firms are located in...

Short lived arbitrage opportunities arise when prices adjust with a lag to new information. They are toxic because they expose dealers to the risk of trading at stale quotes. Hence, theory implies that more frequent toxic arbitrage opportunities and a faster arbitrageurs' response to these...

Information processing filters out the noise in data but it takes time. Hence, low precision signals are available before high precision signals. We analyze how this feature affects asset price informativeness when investors can acquire signals of increasing precision over time about the payoff...

Aggregate art price patterns mask a lot of underlying variation — both in the time series and in the cross-section. We argue that, to increase our understanding of the market for aesthetics, it is helpful to take a micro perspective on the formation of art prices, and acknowledge that each...
