"On the whole a valuable attempt to continue the work of Mandlebrot and others, to break the habit of treating the normal distribution curve as. . . normal." -- HedgeWorld News
"This book is well-written by knowledgeable authors and provides readers with an excellent overview of where fat-tailed or skewed distributions may be needed. The book unfolds in a clear and easy-to-read way, and I would definitely recommend this as an excellent introductory text." -- Financial Engineering News, June 30, 2006
Product Description
While mainstream financial theories and applications assume that asset returns are normally distributed, overwhelming empirical evidence shows otherwise. Yet many professionals don’t appreciate the highly statistical models that take this empirical evidence into consideration. Fat-Tailed and Skewed Asset Return Distributions examines this dilemma and offers readers a less technical look at how portfolio selection, risk management, and option pricing modeling should and can be undertaken when the assumption of a non-normal distribution for asset returns is violated. Topics covered in this comprehensive book include an extensive discussion of probability distributions, estimating probability distributions, portfolio selection, alternative risk measures, and much more. Fat-Tailed and Skewed Asset Return Distributions provides a bridge between the highly technical theory of statistical distributional analysis, stochastic processes, and econometrics of financial returns and real-world risk management and investments.
