Publicación Efficiency in cryptocurrency markets: new evidence(Springer, 2021-07-26) López Martín, Carmen; Benito Muela, Sonia; Arguedas Sanz, RaquelIn this paper we carried out a comprehensive study of the efficiency in the cryptocurrency markets. The markets under study are: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Stellar and Monero. To studdy the efficiency of these markets, we use a set of five test which are applied in both a static context and dynamic context. The results obtained depend on both the analysis period and the methodology used to test the predictability of the return. However, some conclusions can be drawn: first, we observe that overall, the efficiency degree tends to increase with the time. Second, although the efficiency market seems to change along the period, the changes in the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum market show a clear tendency that evolves from less to more efficiency. In the case of Ripple, Stellar and Monero, periods of efficiency alternate with periods of inefficient, which is consistent with the Adaptive Market Hypothesis.Publicación A cryptocurrency empirical study focused on evaluating their distribution functions(Elsevier, 2022-02-14) López Martín, Carmen; Arguedas Sanz, Raquel; Benito Muela, SoniaThis paper thoroughly examines the statistical properties of cryptocurrency returns, particularly focusing on studying which is the best statistical distribution for fitting this type of data. The preliminary statistical study reveals (i) high volatility, (ii) an inverse leverage effect, (iii) skewed distributions and (iv) high kurtosis. To capture the nonnormal characteristics observed in cryptocurrency data, we verified the goodness of fit of a large set of distributions, both symmetric and skewed distributions such as skewed Student-t, skewed generalized t, skewed generalized error and the inverse hyperbolic sign distributions. The results show that the skewed distributions outperform normal and Student-t distributions in fitting cryptocurrency data, although there is no one skewed distribution that systematically better fits the data. In addition, we compare these distributions in terms of their ability to forecast the market risk of cryptocurrencies. In line with the results obtained in the statistical analysis, we find that the skewed distributions provide better risk estimates than the normal and Student-t distributions, both in short and long positions, with SGED being the distribution that provides better results.Publicación A comparison of market risk measures from a twofold perspective: accurate and loss function(Elsevier, 2023-06-04) Benito Muela, Sonia; López Martín, Carmen; Arguedas Sanz, RaquelUnder the new regulation based on Basel solvency framework, known as Basel III and Basel IV, financial institutions must calculate the market risk capital requirements based on the Expected Shortfall (ES) measure, replacing the Value at Risk (VaR) measure. In the financial literature, there are many papers dedicated to compare VaR approaches but there are few studies focusing in comparing ES approaches. To cover this gap, we have carried out a comprenhensive comparative of VaR and ES models applied to IBEX-35 stock index. The comparison has been carried out from a twofold perspective: accurate risk measure and loss functions. The results indicate that the method based on the conditional Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is the best in estimating market risk, outperforming Parametric method and Filter Historical Simulation.
