Lévy processes and infinitely divisible distributions are increasingly defined in terms of their Lévy measure. In order to describe the dependence structure of a multivariate Lévy measure, Tankov (2003) introduced Lévy copulas on <formula format="inline"><file name="sjos_527_mu1.gif" type="gif" /></formula>.

Expressions for (absolute) moments of generalized hyperbolic and normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) laws are given in terms of moments of the corresponding symmetric laws. For the (absolute) moments centred at the location parameter "μ" explicit expressions as series containing Bessel functions are...

Using positive semidefinite supOU (superposition of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type) processes to describe the volatility, we introduce a multivariate stochastic volatility model for financial data which is capable of modelling long range dependence effects. The finiteness of moments and the second...
