Counterfactual distributions in bivariate models : a conditional quantile approach
Alejo, Javier; Badaracco, Nicolás - In: Econometrics : open access journal 3 (2015) 4, pp. 719-732
This paper proposes a methodology to incorporate bivariate models in numerical computations of counterfactual distributions. The proposal is to extend the works of Machado and Mata (2005) and Melly (2005) using the grid method to generate pairs of random variables. This contribution allows...

On approximating the distributions of goodness-of-fit test statistics based on the empirical distribution function : the case of unknown parameters
Capasso, Marco; Alessi, Lucia; Barigozzi, Matteo; … - 2007
This note discusses some problems possibly arising when approximating via MonteCarlo simulations the distributions of goodness-of-fit test statistics based on the empirical distribution function. We argue that failing to reestimate unknown parameters on each simulated Monte-Carlo sample - and...

Monte Carlo-based tail exponent estimator
Barunik, Jozef; Vacha, Lukas - 2010
In this paper we study the finite sample behavior of the Hill estimator under α-stable distributions. Using large Monte Carlo simulations we show that the Hill estimator overestimates the true tail exponent and can hardly be used on samples with small length. Utilizing our results, we introduce...

Models for heavy-tailed asset returns
Borak, Szymon; Misiorek, Adam; Weron, Rafał - 2010
Many of the concepts in theoretical and empirical finance developed over the past decades – including the classical portfolio theory, the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model or the RiskMetrics variance-covariance approach to VaR – rest upon the assumption that asset returns follow a...
