Copula estimation for nonsynchronous financial data
Copula is a powerful tool to model multivariate data. We propose the modelling of intraday financial returns of multiple assets through copula. The problem originates due to the asynchronous nature of intraday financial data. We propose a consistent estimator of the correlation coefficient in case of Elliptical copula and show that the plug-in copula estimator is uniformly convergent. For non-elliptical copulas, we capture the dependence through Kendall's Tau. We demonstrate underestimation of the copula parameter and use a quadratic model to propose an improved estimator. In simulations, the proposed estimator reduces the bias significantly for a general class of copulas. We apply the proposed methods to real data of several stock prices.

Gaussian Process Conditional Copulas with Applications to Financial Time Series
The estimation of dependencies between multiple variables is a central problem in the analysis of financial time series. A common approach is to express these dependencies in terms of a copula function. Typically the cop…

Portfolio OptimizationA Natural Copula
Copulas are widely used in financial economics as well as in other areas of applied mathematics. Yet, there is much arbitrariness in their choice. The author proposes "a natural copula" concept, which minimizes Wasserste…
Large Skew-t Copula Models and Asymmetric Dependence in Intraday Equity Returns
Skew-t copula models are attractive for the modeling of financial data because they allow for asymmetric and extreme tail dependence. We show that the copula implicit in the skew-t distribution of Azzalini and Capitanio …
