چکیده
One of the main issues of risk management is the aggregation of individual risks. A powerful concept to aggregate the risks — the copula function — has been introduced in ...nance by Embrechts, McNeil, and Straumann [1999,2000]. In their papers, the authors clarify the essential concepts of dependence and correlation and certainly will greatly in‡uence the risk management industry. The goal of this paper is to provide simple applications for the practical use of copulas for risk management from an industrial point of view. First, we remind some basics about copulas. Then, some applications of copulas for market risk, credit risk and operational risk are given. We will not provide a full mathematical treatment of the subject and we refer interested readers to Joe [1997] or Nelsen [1999].

Copulas: an open field for risk management
One of the main issues of risk management is the aggregation of individual risks. A powerful concept to aggregate the risks — the copula function — has been introduced in finance by Embrechts, McNeil, and Straumann [1999,2000]. In their papers, the authors clarify the essential concepts of dependence and correlation and certainly will greatly influence the risk management industry. The goal of ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Dependency Structure of Default Processes Based on Bayesian Copula
One of the main problems in credit risk management is the correlated default. In large portfolios, computing the default dependencies among issuers is an essential part in quantifying the portfolio's credit. The most important problems related to credit risk management are understanding the complex dependence structure of the associated variables and lacking the data. This paper aims at introdu...
متن کاملLévy copulas: review of recent results
We review and extend the now considerable literature on Lévy copulas. First, we focus on Monte Carlo methods and present a new robust algorithm for the simulation of multidimensional Lévy processes with dependence given by a Lévy copula. Next, we review statistical estimation techniques in a parametric and a non-parametric setting. Finally, we discuss the interplay between Lévy copulas and mult...
متن کاملCopulas: Tales and Facts
When I started writing the paper [19] in 2003 a Google search of the word “copula” gave 10,000 responses. In September 2005 the same search gives 650,000 responses. There is an explosion of activity. What is going on? Many of the web-sites found in the Google search are related to mathematical finance, statistics, extreme value theory, and risk management. Everybody who opens any journal on sto...
متن کاملBounds for Value at Risk for Asymptotically Dependent Assets - the Copula Approach
The theory of copulas provides a useful tool for modeling dependence in risk management. In insurance and finance, as well as in other applications, dependence of extreme events is particularly important, hence there is a need for the detailed study of the tail behaviour of the multivariate copulas. In this paper we investigate the class of copulas having homogeneous lower tails. We show that h...
