| Abstract | We present a polynomial expansion of the standardized Student-t distribution. Our density, obtained through the polynomial adjusted method in Bagnato, Potì and Zoia (2015), is an extension of the Gram-Charlier density in Jondeau and Rockinger (2001). We derive the closed-form expressions of the moments, the distribution function and the skewness-kurtosis frontier for a well-defined density. An empirical application is also implemented for modeling heavy-tailed and skewed distributions for daily asset returns. Both in-sample and backtesting analysis show that this new density can be a good candidate for risk management. |
