• Which Parametric Model for Conditional Skewness?

  Staff Working Paper 2013-32 Bruno Feunou, Mohammad R. Jahan-Parvar, Roméo Tedongap

  This paper addresses an existing gap in the developing literature on conditional skewness. We develop a simple procedure to evaluate parametric conditional skewness models. This procedure is based on regressing the realized skewness measures on model-implied conditional skewness values.

• The ‘Celtic Crisis’: Guarantees, Transparency and Systemic Liquidity Risk

  Staff Working Paper 2013-31 Philipp König, Kartik Anand, Frank Heinemann

However, as the experiences of some European countries, most notably Ireland, have demonstrated, the credibility and effectiveness of these guarantees are crucially intertwined with the sovereign’s funding risks.
