The EMS is modeled as imposing dual reflecting barriers on the exchange rate process. This policy leads to a state-dependent conditional variance for exchange rate changes. This variance is always less than that under a pure free float regime. A method of Simulated Moments procedure is employed...

We consider ARCH processes with persistent covariates and provide asymptotic theories that explain how such covariates … affect various characteristics of volatility. Specifically, we propose and study a volatility model, named ARCH-NNH model …, that is an ARCH(1) process with a nonlinear function of a persistent, integrated or nearly integrated, explanatory variable …

This paper extends the theoretical framework of Frenkel and Rodriguez (1982); Sutherland (1995) model to policy uncertainty case. In a stoachastic open macroeconomic model is characterized by purchasing power parity postulate doesn't hold and imperfect capital mobility, we use the Lai and...

This paper analyses Czech and Hungarian index options that are traded on the Austrian Futures and Options Exchange. We find that the Poisson jump-diffusion and not the GARCH (1,1) process lends statistical support for the data description. We estimate that approximately four-fifth of 4 percent...

Leptokurtic or platykurtic distributions can, for example, be generated by applying certain non-linear transformations to a Gaussian random variable. Within this work we focus on the class of so-called power transformations which are determined by their generator function. Examples are the...

We introduce a new skewed and leptokurtic distribution derived from the hyperbolic secant distribution and Johnson's S transformation. Properties of this new distribution are given. Finally, we empirically demonstrate in the context of financial return data that its exibility is comparable to...
