We propose and backtest a multivariate Value-at-Risk model for financial returns based on Tukey's g-and-h distribution. This distributional assumption is especially useful if (conditional) asymmetries as well as heavy tails have to be considered and fast random sampling is of importance. To...

We propose a multidimensional extension for Patton's (2006) bivariate Dynamic Copulas. We also introduce a Dynamic Mixture Copula whose parameters and weights follow well defined dynamic processes. Both approaches are more flexible to adapt to financial data than currently available Copula...
