This study explores the benefits of incorporating fat-tailed innovations, asymmetric volatility response, and an extended information set into crude oil return modeling and forecasting. To this end, we utilize standard volatility models such as Generalized Autoregressive Conditional...

Constructing an accurate model for insurance losses is a challenging task. Researchers have developed various methods to model insurance losses, such as composite models. Composite models combine two distributions: one for part of the data with small and high frequencies and the other for large...
