Outliers of moderate magnitude cause large changes in financial time series of prices and returns and affect both the estimation of parameters and volatilities when fitting a GARCH-type model. The multivariate setting is still to be studied, but similar biases and impacts on correlation dynamics...

In this paper we focus on the impact of additive level outliers on the calculation of risk measures, such as minimum capital risk requirements, and compare four alternatives of reducing these measures' estimation biases. The first three proposals proceed by detecting and correcting outliers...

Outliers in financial data can lead to model parameter estimation biases, invalid inferences and poor volatility forecasts. Therefore, their detection and correction should be taken seriously when modeling financial data. This paper focuses on these issues and proposes a general detection and...
