This paper proposes a systemic risk index based on Functional Data Analysis (FDA), overcoming salient shortcomings of standard methodologies related to data usage, data sparseness, and high dimensionality issues. Using Mexican data, a set of systemic risk indexes are constructed and we show that...

El modelo gaussiano GARCH(1,1) ha sido empleado, tradicionalmente, en el estudio de la tasa de cambio; sin embargo, un número importante de estudios recientes (utilizando modelos FIGARCH e HYGARCH) ha encontrado evidencia de persistencia en su volatilidad. En este trabajo, usando una estrategia...

The Gaussian GARCH (1,1) model has traditionally been used for studying the exchange rate. However, an important number of recent studies, using FIGARCH and HYGARCH models, have found evidence for the persistence of exchange rate volatility. This study, using nested models, found evidence in...
