Skewness in Hedge Funds Returns: Classical Skewness Coefficients vs. Azzalini’s Skewness Parameter
Recent literature discusses the persistence of skewness and tail risk in hedge fund returns. The aim of this paper is to suggest an alternative skewness measure which is derived as the normalized shape parameter from the skew-normal distribution. First, we illustrate that the skew-normal distribution is better able to catch the characteristics of hedge fund returns than the normal distributio...
متن کاملOn Homogeneous Skewness of Unimodal Distributions
We introduce a new concept of skewness for unimodal continuous distributions which is built on the asymmetry of the density function around its mode. The asymmetry is captured through a skewness function. We call a distribution homogeneously skewed if this skewness function is consistently positive or negative throughout its domain, and partially homogeneously skewed if the skewness function ch...
متن کاملA Note on Skewness in Regenerative Simulation
The purpose of this paper is to show, empirically and theoretically, that performance evaluation by means of regenerative simulation often involves random variables with distributions that are heavytailed and heavily skewed. This, in turn, leads to the variance of estimators being poorly estimated, and confidence intervals having actual coverage quite different from (typically lower than) the n...
متن کاملInstitutional Skewness Preferences and the Idiosyncratic Skewness Premium∗
This study examines whether idiosyncratic skewness preferences of institutional investors influence stock returns. On aggregate, institutions exhibit an aversion for idiosyncratic skewness but prefer systematic skewness, and in the cross-section, larger (smaller) and more (less) diversified institutions exhibit stronger (weaker) aversion for idiosyncratic skewness. The aggregate institutional p...
متن کاملOn Relative Skewness for Multivariate Distributions
In this paper, we provide a new concept of relative skewness among multivariate distributions, extending to the multivariate case a similar concept in the univariate case. In this case, a random variable Y is said to be more right skewed than a random variable X if there exits an increasing convex transformation which maps X onto Y . Given two random vectors X and Y and an appropriate transform...
