With the celebrated model of Black and Scholes in 1973 the development of modern option pricing models started. One of the assumptions of the Black and Scholes model ist that the risky asset evolves according to the geometric brownian motion which implies normal distributed returns. As empirical...

In the literature there are several generalzations of the standard logistic distribution. Most of them are included in the generalized logistic distribution of type 4 or EGB2 distribution. However, this four parameter family fails in modeling skewness absolutly greater than 2 and kurtosis higher...
