• Resumen

  • In this paper a new slash model is introduced. The resulting distribution exhibits greater kurtosis than other slash models previously considered in literature. Closed expressions are given for the probability density function, moments and kurtosis coefficient. Inference based on iterative maximum likelihood methods is carried out. Real applications of interest in Economics are included.
