This paper suggests a goodness-of-fit test for parametric families of Archimedean copulas for high dimensional distributions. The test statistic is based on the classical chi-square-statistic but has a nonstandard asymptotic distribution. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the test keeps the...

In this paper we propose exact likelihood-based mean-variance efficiency tests of the market portfolio in the context of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), allowing for a wide class of error distributions which include normality as a special case. These tests are developed in the framework of...
