Dynamic copula-based Markov chains at work: Theory, testing and performance in modeling daily stock returns

Tinkl, Fabian; Reichert, Katja - 2011

We generalize the score test for time-varying copula parameters proposed by [Abegaz & Naik-Nimbalkar, 2008] to a setting where more than one-parametric copulas can be tested for time variation in at least one parameter. In a next step we model the daily log returns of the Commerzbank stock using...
