We develop a new simultaneous time series model for volatility and dependence with long memory (fractionally integrated) dynamics and heavy-tailed densities. Our new multivariate model accounts for typical empirical features in financial time series while being robust to outliers or jumps in the...

We consider an observation-driven location model where the unobserved location variable is modeled as a random walk process and where the error variable is from a mixture of normal distributions. The mixed normal distribution can approximate many continuous error distributions accurately. We...

In practice, multivariate dependencies of extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a novel test to detect when bivariate simplifications produce misleading results. This occurs when a significant portion of the multivariate dependence structure in the tails is of...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test to detect when tail dependence is truly high{dimensional and bivariate simplifications would produce misleading results. This occurs when a significant portion of the...

In practice, multivariate dependencies between extreme risks are often only assessed in a pairwise way. We propose a test for detecting situations when such pairwise measures are inadequate and give incomplete results. This occurs when a significant portion of the multivariate dependence...

We analyze a large panel of units grouped by shared extreme value indices (EVIs) and aim to identify these unknown groups. To achieve this, we order the Hill estimates of individual EVIs and segment them by minimizing the total squared distance between each estimate and its corresponding group...

We develop a new model for the multivariate covariance matrix dynamics based on daily return observations and daily realized covariance matrix kernels based on intraday data. Both types of data may be fat-tailed. We account for this by assuming a matrix-F distribution for the realized kernels,...
