How Well Can the Risk of Financial Extremes Be Forecast?
Research Report | Apr 13, 2010 | Michael Hayes, Vladislav Dubikovsky, Lisa Goldberg, Ming LiuExtreme events are an important source of financial risk, but they present special challenges in quantitative forecasting.

Our results show that for a large majority of strategies, our model is more consistent with market behavior than a conditional Normal model.
