We show how to compute the expectiles of the risk neutral distribution from the prices of European call and put options. Empirical properties of these implicit expectiles are studied on a dataset of closing daily prices of FTSE MIB index options. We introduce the interexpectile difference Δ<sub>τ...

In this paper we introduce a multivariate Independent Component COGARCH(p,q) model for financial time series. We determine optimal portfolio weights obtained as a solution of different static asset allocation problems. Empirical analysis is conducted on two datasets. The first is composed by 154...

A statistical functional is elicitable if it can be defined as the minimizer of a suitable expected scoring function (see Gneiting (2011), Ziegel (2013) and the references therein). With financial applications in view, we suggest a slightly more restrictive definition than Gneiting (2011), and...

In this paper we provide an axiomatic foundation to Orlicz risk measures in terms of properties of their acceptance sets, by exploiting their natural correspondence with shortfall risk measures, thus paralleling the characterization in Weber (2006). From a financial point of view, Orlicz risk...
