Time varying vine copulas for multivariate returns (in Russian)
We analyze the multivariate distribution of financial returns using time varying conditional vine copulas. We present the d-Stage Maximum Likelihood (dSML) estimator which is shown to be not only consistent and asymptotically normal, but also more computationally attractive than the standard ML or Patton's 2SML. Using dSML, we fit vine copulas to returns of a portfolio on emerging market currencies.
