Shaping tail dependencies by nesting box copulas
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a family of copulas which are locally piecewise uniform in the interior of the unit cube of any given dimension. Within that family, the simultaneous control of tail dependencies of all projections to faces of the cube is possible and we give an efficient sampling algorithm. The combination of these two properties may be appealing to risk modellers.

Multivariate Copulas for Financial Modeling
Although the copula literature has many instances of bivariate copulas, once more than two variates are correl ated, the choice of copulas often comes down to selection of the degrees-of-freedom parameter in the t-copula. In search for a wider selection of multivariate copulas we review a generalization of the t-copula and some copulas defined by Harry Joe. Generalizing the t-copula gives more ...
متن کاملNested Archimedean Copulas Meet R— The nacopula Package
The package copula (formerly nacopula) provides procedures for constructing nested Archimedean copulas in any dimensions and with any kind of nesting structure, generating vectors of random variates from the constructed objects, computing function values and probabilities of falling into hypercubes, as well as evaluation of characteristics such as Kendall’s tau and the tail-dependence coefficie...
متن کاملProperties of Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas
In this paper we analyse the properties of hierarchical Archimedean copulas. This class is a generalisation of the Archimedean copulas and allows for general non-exchangeable dependency structures. We show that the structure of the copula can be uniquely recovered from all bivariate margins. We derive the distribution of the copula value, which is particularly useful for tests and constructing ...
متن کاملDuality of the Multivariate Distributions of Marshall-Olkin Type and Tail Dependence
A dual class of the multivariate distributions of Marshall-Olkin type is introduced, and their copulas are presented and utilized to derive explicit expressions of the distributional tail dependencies, which describe the amount of dependence in the upperorthant tail or lower-orthant tail of a multivariate distribution and can be used in the study of dependence among extreme values. A sufficient...
متن کاملRegime switches in the dependence structure of multidimensional financial data
Misperceptions about extreme dependencies between different financial assets have been an important element of the recent financial crisis, which is why regulating entities do now require financial institutions to account for different behavior under market stress. Such sudden switches in dependence structures are studied usingMarkov switching regular vine copulas. These copulas allow for asymm...
