Conditional tail independence in Archimedean copula models
Consider a random vector U whose distribution function coincides in its upper tail with that of an Archimedean copula. We report the fact that the conditional distribution of U, conditional on one of its components, has under a mild condition on the ...

Goodness‐of‐Fit Tests for Positive Quadrant Dependence
Summary When two random variables are positive quadrant dependent (PQD), they are more likely to assume small (or large) values simultaneously compared with when the random variables are independent. This dependence structure is of interest in many areas, including finance, actuarial science and engineering.

Assessing Basis Risk in Margin Insurance for Beef Cattle Farming in Brazil
ABSTRACT Price volatility in agricultural markets directly affects the financial viability of rural producers, particularly in sectors characterized by narrow profit margins and long production cycles, such as beef cattle production. Futures contracts and agricultural insurance are commonly used to mitigate this risk; however, both instruments are ...

Robust Bernoulli Mixture Models for Credit Portfolio Risk
ABSTRACT This paper presents comparison results and establishes risk bounds for credit portfolios within classes of Bernoulli mixture models, assuming conditionally independent defaults that are stochastically increasing in a common risk factor. We provide simple and interpretable conditions on conditional default probabilities that imply a comparison ...

Abstract Drought indices represent essential tools for monitoring and evaluating drought conditions and evolution. Univariate indices employ the Probability Integral Transform to map data onto the standard Gaussian domain. Extending such a Gaussian normalization procedure to multivariate settings requires the usage of the Kendall distribution function ...

Modelling cascading effects for systemic risk: Properties of the Freund copula
We consider a dependent lifetime model for systemic risk, whose basic idea was for the first time presented by Freund. This model allows to model cascading effects of defaults for arbitrarily many economic agents.

The univariate analysis of hydrological extremes is a well-established practice in developing countries such as Ethiopia. However, for the design of hydrological and hydraulic systems, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of flood event ...

A two-component copula with links to insurance
This paper presents a new copula to model dependencies between insurance entities, by considering how insurance entities are affected by both macro and micro factors.

Assessing the hydrodynamic boundary conditions for risk analyses in coastal areas: a multivariate statistical approach based on Copula functions [PDF]
This paper presents an advanced approach to statistically analyse storm surge events. In former studies the highest water level during a storm surge event usually was the only parameter that was used for the statistical assessment.

COBASE: A new copula‐based shuffling method for ensemble weather forecast postprocessing
We propose COBASE, a novel copula‐based postprocessing methododology that combines the strengths of multivariate parametric correction with non‐parametric rank‐based approaches. We consider two case studies for multi‐site temperature in Austria and multi‐site temperature and dew‐point temperature in the Netherlands.
