Abstract: Expectile estimation has been recently investigated extensively from the perspective of extreme value theory. Attention has been, however, restricted to heavy-tailed distributions. We focus on the less-discussed problem of estimating extreme expectiles from short-tailed data. We present extrapolated expectile estimators based on extreme quantiles and develop their asymptotic theory. Then, we provide Monte Carlo evidence of their superiority relative to competing estimators extrapolating intermediate asymmetric least squares expectiles. Finally, we discuss concrete examples of application.
