2. Introduction
In economics theory and on practice often are used models with normal distribution. But empirical researches show, that using of normal distribution on practice do not take in consideration arise of fat tails.
Hence, there is alternative for models based on normal distributions such as:
Stable distributions
Clark’s subordination model
Mixture of distributions’ model
General Levy processes
Variable and stochastic volatility
Microstructural models
Various non-normal distribution models

5. Hypothesis
H0: G bounds evaluate the risk of large losses on the stock markets more accurately than the normal distribution.
H1: Indexes of observable countries are efficiency in the weak form.
H2: There is a negative relationship
Between the Weak-form efficiency of the
stock market and the risk of
large losses on it.

23. Conclusion Confirmation of H0 hypothesis
H1 hypothesis was partially confirmed.
Confirmation of H2 hypothesis
Constructed logit model let us find a negative correlation between deviation of observed indexes log returns and weak form efficiency
For log returns of observed effective stock markets in the weak form fatness ratio is less than for ineffective stock markets
This area of research carries great potential for further research
