Financial Econometrics in Risk Management

Dear Colleagues,

Statistics, Economics, and Finance are part of Financial Econometrics, a growing field of research interesting for anyone involved in Risk Management. Since the financial crisis in 2008, there has been increasing interest in the application of econometric methods for financial risk analysis. Topics such as tail dependence, financial contagion, conditional volatility, conditional correlation, copula-based risk measures, tail risk, high-frequency data, GARCH, stochastic volatility, extreme value theory, and back-testing methods, among many others, have become very popular in the literature.

For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit papers addressing new challenges in these topics, particularly those that bring together data analysis and econometric modeling. Original research papers that make new theoretical and/or empirical contributions to this field are welcome.
