This study aims to achieve a two-fold research objective: first, to econometrically investigate hypothesized linkages between real estate and stock markets by fitting different classes of time-varying volatility model; second, to perform VaR-type stress testing by using the fitted asset price...

This study proposes a semiparametric estimate and a test for base-independence equivalence scale. Our semiparametric approach is based on nondensity weighted loss function in contrast to Pendakur's (1999) density weighted loss function. Simulation results indicate that our specification tends to...

This study examines long-run relationships and short-run dynamic causal linkages among the US, Japanese, and ten Asian emerging stock markets, with the particular attention to the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. Extending related empirical studies, comparative analyses of pre-crisis, crisis,...

We construct twelve marginal--copula combinations using three marginal distributions (normal, <italic>t</italic> and <italic>S_U </italic>-normal) and four types of copulas (normal, skewed normal, <italic>t</italic> and skewed <italic>t</italic>). Bivariate empirical evidence shows that the choice of marginal distribution plays a more important role in the Value...

We have developed a measure for systemic risk under the bivariate SU-normal distribution, and estimated systemic risk conditional upon the VaR of financial institutions. Simulation results show that both the normal and the quantile regression estimates are downward biased relative to the...
