Bounds for the skewness kurtosis space corresponding to the skewed generalized T, skewed generalized error, skewed T, and some other distributions are presented and contrasted with the bounds reported by Klaassen et al.(2000) for unimodal probability density functions. The skewed generalized T...

Data censoring causes ordinary least squares estimators of linear models to be biased and inconsistent. The Tobit estimator yields consistent estimators in the presence of data censoring if the errors are normally distributed. However, non-normality or heteroskedasticity results in the Tobit...

A number of flexible distributions (generalized beta of the second kind, inverse hyperbolic sine, g-and-h, Weibull, Burr-3, Burr-12, generalized gamma) are examined in the setting of option-pricing to explore potential improvements over the standard assumption of lognormal returns. Price...
