We compare several models for Bear Stearns' credit default swap spreads estimated via a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. The Bayes Factor selects a CKLS model with GARCH-EPD errors as the best model. This model best captures the volatility clustering and extreme tail returns of the swaps...

In this paper, the impact of the accounting rule (SFAS No.8) on stock market is analyzed with a new model, which is based on the 3-factor model of Fama-French (1993), the EGARCH-type volatility of Nelson (1991) and non-Normal distribution of SSAEPD of Zhu and Zinde-Walsh (2009). Fama-French 25...
