This paper uses a panel threshold regression (PTR) model to investigate the influence that energy prices have on renewable energy development under different economic growth rate regimes. The empirical data are obtained from each of the OECD member-countries over the period from 1997 to 2006. We...

This investigation proposes a composite Simpson's rule, a numerical integral method, for estimating quantiles on the skewed generalized error distribution (SGED). Daily spot prices of S&P500 and Dow-Jones stock indices are used as data to examine the one-day-ahead VaR (Value at Risk) forecasting...

Two-stage methodology is developed to verify how the unanticipated asymmetry variations affect the stock returns. A GARCH model is investigated on residuals from a CIP identification followed by an ARJI model examination of the stock return. Consequently, a negative exogenous change can result...

This study blends the simplicity and empirical success of univariate GARCH processes with an easy to estimate and interpret dynamic correlation estimator. A two step estimator and a simple test are employed to verify the null of constant correlation against an alternative of dynamic conditional...

The choice of an appropriate distribution for return innovations is important in VaR applications owing to its ability to directly affect the estimation quality of the required quantiles. This study investigates the influence of fat-tailed innovation process on the performance of one-day-ahead...

This study extends the one period zero-VaR (Value-at-Risk) hedge ratio proposed by Hung et al. (2005) to the multi-period case and incorporates the hedging horizon into the objective function under VaR framework. The multi-period zero-VaR hedge ratio has several advantages. First, compared to...

This study investigates whether foreign investors cause abnormal information by jump process in the Taiwanese stock market during before and after relaxation of the restrictions on QFII investors on 2 October 2003 (pre- and post-QFII). By conducting further analysis, this study conducts detailed...
