Copulas in finance and insurance [PDF]

open access: yes
Copulas provide a potential useful modeling tool to represent the dependence structure among variables and to generate joint distributions by combining given marginal distributions. Simulations play a relevant role in finance and insurance. They are used

Laurels or Thorns of Trust? How Embeddedness Moderates the Exchange‐Satisfaction Relationship in Franchising

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exchanges in franchise systems are embedded in the level of trust that exists in franchisee–franchisor relationships. Although trust is essential in business relationships, it can unfold a negative side effect on the appreciation of exchange in these relationships as hidden costs of trust.

WORLD FINANCIAL RELATIONS: UNDERSTANDING THE CREDIT DERIVATIVE SWAPS (CDS) DEPENDENCE STRUCTURE

open access: yesREAd
This study investigates the copula model that best fit to model the dependence structure of Credit Derivative Swaps (CDS) spreads. For the analysis, we consider daily data from the period of January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2014.

Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

Bounds for Trivariate Copulas with Given Bivariate Marginals

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2008
We determine two constructions that, starting with two bivariate copulas, give rise to new bivariate and trivariate copulas, respectively. These constructions are used to determine pointwise upper and lower bounds for the class of all trivariate copulas ...

Review of Regina Pustet : Copulas: universals in the categorization of the lexicon: (Oxford University Press 2003; 262pp) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The renowned Grimm Dictionary (1854-1961) makes the statement that the German copula sein (to be) is “the most general and colourless of all verbal concepts” (der allgemeinste und farbloseste aller verbalbegriffe).

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Continuous Exchangeable Markov Chains, Idempotent and 1-Dependent Copulas

open access: yesMathematics
New copula families are constructed based on orthogonality in L2(0,1). Subclasses of idempotent copulas with square integrable densities are derived.

Lorenz-generated bivariate Archimedean copulas

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2020
A novel generating mechanism for non-strict bivariate Archimedean copulas via the Lorenz curve of a non-negative random variable is proposed. Lorenz curves have been extensively studied in economics and statistics to characterize wealth inequality and ...

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.
