T1 - Prediction of financial downside-risk with heavy-tailed conditional distributions T2 - Center for Financial Studies (Frankfurt am Main): CFS working paper series ; No. 2003,04 N2 - The use of GARCH models with stable Paretian innovations in financial modeling has been recently suggested in the literature. This class of processes is attractive because it allows for conditional skewness and leptokurtosis of financial returns without ruling out normality. This contribution illustrates their usefulness in predicting the downside risk of financial assets in the context of modeling foreign exchange-rates and demonstrates their superiority over use of normal or StudentĀ“s t GARCH models.
