Modeling Dynamic Volatilities and Correlations under Skewness and Fat Tails∗
We propose a new model for dynamic volatilities and correlations of skewed and heavytailed data. Our model endows the Generalized Hyperbolic distribution with time-varying parameters driven by the score of the observation density function. The key novelty in our approach is the fact that the skewed and fat-tailed shape of the distribution directly affects the dynamic behavior of the time-varyin...
متن کاملEGARCH models with fat tails, skewness and leverage
An EGARCH model in which the conditional distribution is heavytailed and skewed is proposed. The properties of the model, including unconditional moments, autocorrelations and the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator, are obtained. Evidence for skewness in conditional t-distribution is found for a range of returns series and the model is shown to give a better fit than th...

متن کاملOn Rational Bubbles and Fat Tails*
This paper addresses the statistical properties of time series driven by rational bubbles à la Blanchard and Watson (1982). Using insights on the behavior of multiplicative stochastic processes, we demonstrate that the tails of the unconditional distribution emerging from such bubble processes follow power-laws (exhibit hyperbolic decline). More precisely, we find that rational bubbles predict ...
متن کاملProspect theory and fat tails
A behavioral representative investor who evaluates a single risky asset based on cumulative prospect theory will often induce high kurtosis, negative skewness, and persistent autocorrelation into the distribution of market returns even if the asset payoffs are merely a sequence of independent coin tosses. These findings continue to hold even when the investor is simply loss averse.
