After constructing Bayesian estimators for alpha-stable distributions in the context of an ARMA …-GARCH time series model with stable innovations, we compare our risk evaluation and prediction results to the predictions of …

Portfolio risk estimation in volatile markets requires employing fat-tailed models for financial returns combined with … copula functions to capture asymmetries in dependence and an appropriate downside risk measure. In this survey, we discuss … how these three essential components can be combined together in a Monte Carlo based framework for risk estimation and …
