In this paper a test procedure is proposed for the skewness in autoregressive conditional volatility models. The size and the power of the test are investigated through a series of Monte Carlo simulations with various models. Furthermore, applications with financial data are analyzed in order to...

This paper describes the participation of Cyprus households in various types of debt using data from the first (1999) Cyprus Survey of Consumer Finances. It complements the 2001 paper by Haliassos et al. The findings are of interest to policy makers, as they show the extent of household...

This paper describes participation of Cyprus households in financial and real assets using new data from the 1999 Cyprus Survey of Consumer Finances, and compares Cyprus to the United States and four major European countries. Almost 9 out of 10 Cyprus households own some financial asset. After...

This paper describes participation of Cyprus households in various assets and debts using data from the first (1999) and second (2002) Cyprus Surveys of Consumer Finances. It complements our previous papers that separately described household participation in various types of assets (Haliassos...
