The main purpose of this handbook is to illustrate the mathematically fundamental implementation of various volatility models in the banking and financial industries, both at home and abroad, through use of real-world, time-sensitive applications. Conceived and written by over two-dozen experts...

This paper surveys the most important developments in multivariate ARCH-type modelling. It reviews the model specifications, the inference methods, and the main areas of application of these models in financial econometrics

We propose a practical and flexible method to introduce skewness in multivariate symmetric distributions. Applying this procedure to the multivariate Student density leads to a multivariate skew-Student density, in which each marginal has a specific asymmetry coefficient. Combined with a...
