SKEWNESS AND COSKEWNESS DYNAMICS FOR THE ROMANIAN STOCK MARKET.

We are using a conditional skewness and coskewness model for the log-returns on the most liquid Romanian stocks in order to identify the individual and common asymmetries for the period between January 2010 and September 2015. A Markov switching analysis for all the series revealed the moments when the coskewness coefficient for the theoretical portfolio changed regimes and also the moments when the individual skewness coefficients switched their levels simultaneously. We provide a comment on these changes and their possible implications for risk management and direction of change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
