Modeling Extreme Events: Time-Varying Extreme Tail Shape [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 A dynamic semi-parametric framework is proposed to study time variation in tail fatness of sovereign bond yield changes during the 2010--2012 euro area sovereign debt crisis measured at a high (15-minute) frequency. The framework builds on the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for modeling peaks over thresholds as in Extreme Value Theory, but casts
