Quasi maximum likelihood estimation of Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) is discussed. The reference likelihood is that of a location-scale asymmetric Laplace distribution, related to a family of loss functions that lead to strictly consistent scoring functions for joint estimation...

We propose a new class of models specifi cally tailored for spatio-temporal data analysis. To this end, we generalize the spatial autoregressive model with autoregressive and heteroskedastic disturbances, i.e. SARAR(1,1), by exploiting the recent advancements in Score Driven (SD) models...
