This paper provides a selected review of the recent developments and applications of mixture-of-normal (MN) distribution models in financial econometrics. One noted feature of the MN model is its flexibility in accommodating various shapes of continuous distributions, and its ability in...

In this paper, we extend the concept of mutual exclusivity proposed by Dhaene and Denuit (1999) to its tail counterpart and baptise this new dependency structure as tail mutual exclusivity. Probability levels are first specified for each component of the random vector. Under this dependency...

We explore time variation in the shape of the conditional return distribution using a model of multiple quantiles. We propose a joint model of scale (proxied by the interquartile range) and other quantiles standardised by the scale. The model allows us to capture the scale and shape of the...

Using bond transaction data from TRACE from 2005 to 2015, we investigate the impact of pre-trade transparency on over-the-counter bond markets, and find that NYSE pre-trade transparency reduces US corporate bond transaction costs by $846 million per year. NYSE pre-trade transparent bonds also...
