We propose a simple and fl exible framework for forecasting the joint density of asset returns. The multinormal distribution is augmented with a polynomial in (time-varying) non-central co-moments of assets. We estimate the coefficients of the polynomial via the method of moments for a carefully sel
A new model for asset returns is introduced to accommodate markets with some arbitrage opportunities. It concerns capital market systems in which the conditionally exponential dependence (CED) property can be attached to each investor. Universal characteristics of global returns are derived.
We study the consumption based asset pricing model due to Lucas (Econometrica 46 (1978(Econometrica 46 ( ) 1429)). The exogenous endowment sequence is modeled as a linear stochastic process driven by stable shocks in an otherwise standard framework. The Gaussian process emerges as a special case. We
It is now well established that the volatility of asset returns is time varying and highly persistent. One leading model that is used to represent these features of the data is the stochastic volatility model. The researcher may test for non-stationarity of the volatility process by testing for a un
