Multivariate regular variation of heavy-tailed Markov chains
read the original abstract
The upper extremes of a Markov chain with regulary varying stationary marginal distribution are known to exhibit under general conditions a multiplicative random walk structure called the tail chain. More generally, if the Markov chain is allowed to switch from positive to negative extremes or vice versa, the distribution of the tail chain increment may depend on the sign of the tail chain on the previous step. But even then, the forward and backward tail chain mutually determine each other through a kind of adjoint relation. As a consequence, the finite-dimensional distributions of the Markov chain are multivariate regularly varying in a way determined by the back-and-forth tail chain. An application of the theory yields the asymptotic distribution of the past and the future of the solution to a stochastic difference equation conditionally on the present value being large in absolute value.

Heavy Tails and Predictive Ability Testing
Diebold-Mariano test statistic converges to a stable non-Gaussian limit under infinite-variance loss differentials, and subsampling yields valid inference without estimating long-run variance or tail index.
