This appendix extends simulation and empirical results reported in Mancini and Trojani (2010). It discusses the choice of the robustness tuning constants; describes the unconditional, independence and conditional coverage tests for VaR forecast evaluation; provides additional Monte Carlo...

A model selection procedure based on a general criterion function, with an example of the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion (KLIC) using quasi-likelihood functions, is considered for dynamic non-nested models. We propose a robust test which generalizes Lien and Vuong's (1987) test with a...

Accurate prediction of future claims is a fundamentally important problem in insurance. The Bayesian approach is natural in this context, as it provides a complete predictive distribution for future claims. The classical credibility theory provides a simple approximation to the mean of that...

In this work we show a briefly presentation of four approaches to opinion polls. The example we present here, is referred on exit polls which have been realized for the elections of Serres Municipal in Greece on October 22nd of 2006. The methodology can be applied in any opinion poll, not only...

Operational risk management remains a major concern for financial institutions. Indeed, institutions are bound to manage their own funds to hedge this risk. In this paper, we propose an approach to allocate one's own funds based on a combination of historical data and expert opinion using the...

We propose a novel approach to the statistical analysis of simulation models and, especially, agent-based models (ABMs). Our main goal is to provide a fully automated and model-independent tool-kit to inspect simulations and perform counter-factual analysis. Our approach: (i) is easy-to-use by...
