We consider multivariate stationary processes (Xt) satisfying a stochastic recurrence equation of the form Xt=𝕄tXt−1+Qt, where (Qt) are i.i.d. random vectors and 𝕄t=Diag(b1+c1Mt,…,bd+cdMt) are i.i.d. diagonal matrices and (Mt) are i.i.d. random variables. We obtain a full...

As an alternative to quasi-maximum likelihood, targeting estimation is a much applied estimation method for univariate and multivariate GARCH models. In terms of variance targeting estimation recent research has pointed out that at least finite fourth-order moments of the data generating process...

In ruin theory, the univariate model may be found too restrictive to describe accurately the complex evolution of the reserves of an insurance company. In the case where the company is composed of multiple lines of business, we compute asymptotics of finite-time ruin probabilities. Capital...
