We develop a discrete-time affine stochastic volatility model with time-varying conditional skewness (SVS). Importantly, we disentangle the dynamics of conditional volatility and conditional skewness in a coherent way. Our approach allows current asset returns to be asymmetric conditional on...

Current practice largely follows restrictive approaches to market risk measurement, such as historical simulation or RiskMetrics. In contrast, we propose flexible methods that exploit recent developments in financial econometrics and are likely to produce more accurate risk assessments, treating...

Arbitrage pricing model (APT) is one of the models that describe risk of investment on the capital market. The model has been widely used in the developed economies. The paper presents an application of the APT model on the Polish capital market, in particular on the stock investment funds. The...

Using positive semidefinite supOU (superposition of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type) processes to describe the volatility, we introduce a multivariate stochastic volatility model for financial data which is capable of modelling long range dependence effects. The finiteness of moments and the second...

Until the 1980s, there was a general disinclination towards foreign investment or private commercial flows as India's development strategy was focused on self-reliance and import substitution and current account deficits were financed largely through debt flows and official development...

We study arbitrage opportunities in diverse markets as introduced by R. Fernholz in [Fer99]. By a change of measure technique we are able to generate a variety of diverse markets. The construction is based on an absolutely continuous, but nonequivalent measure change which implies the existence...

In this article we contribute to the recent debate on the difference between Islamic bonds (Sukuk) and conventional bonds by investigating returns and volatility spillovers of Sukuk and global bonds with equities. The dynamic spillover index methodology proposed by Diebold and Yilmaz (2012)...

Following recent advances in the non-parametric realized volatility approach, we separately measure the discontinuous jump part of the quadratic variation process for individual stocks and incorporate it into heterogeneous autoregressive volatility models. We analyze the distributional...

Describes the behavior of financial markets as functions of the variables 'price return' and 'time' based on the net difference between ask and bid volumes over a unit period, thereby suggesting that at least a negative non-trivial price return extreme exists for a unit period. This admittedly...
