There is a significant gap in financing sustainable development in emerging economies to meet the climate commitments under the Paris Agreement and to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that more than USD...

Let Xt = [Sigma][infinity]j=-[infinity] cjZt - j be a moving average process where {Zt} is iid with common distribution in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index [alpha], 0 [alpha] 2. If 0 [alpha] 2, EZ1[alpha] [infinity] and the distribution of Z1and Z1Z2 are tail equivalent...

Let {Zn} be an iid sequence of random variables with common distribution F which belongs to the domain of attraction of exp{-e-x}. If in addition, F[epsilon]Sr([gamma]) (i.e.,limx--[infinity] P[Z1+Z2]/P[Z1x]=d[epsilon](0, [infinity]) and , then it is shown that a point process based on the...
