This paper develops a semiparametric estimation method that jointly identifies the probability weighting and utility functions implicit in option prices. Our econometric method avoids direct specification of the objective conditional return distributions, which are instead obtained by...

A novel, general two-sample hypothesis testing procedure is established for testing the equality of tail copulas associated with bivariate data. More precisely, using an ingenious transformation of a natural two-sample tail copula process, a test process is constructed, which is shown to...

This paper provides an extensive Monte-Carlo comparison of severalcontemporary cointegration tests. Apart from the familiar Gaussian basedtests of Johansen, we also consider tests based on non-Gaussianquasi-likelihoods. Moreover, we compare the performance of these parametrictests with tests...
