چکیده

We describe several analytical and numerical procedures to obtain bounds on the distribution function of a sum of n dependent risks having fixed overlapping marginals. As an application, we produce bounds on quantile-based risk measures for portfolios of financial/actuarial interest.

Bounds for Functions of Multivariate Risks

Abstract. Li, Scarsini, and Shaked (1996a) provide bounds on the distribution and the tail for functions of dependent random vectors having fixed multivariate marginals. In this paper, we correct a result stated in the above article and we give improved bounds in the case of the sum of identically distributed random vectors. Moreover, we provide the dependence structures meeting the bounds when...

Aggregating Risk Capital, with an Application to Operational Risk

We describe a numerical procedure to obtain bounds on the distribution function of a sum of n dependent risks having fixed marginals. With respect to the existing literature, our method provides improved bounds and can be applied also to large non-homogeneous portfolios of risks. As an application, we compute the VaR-based minimum capital requirement for a portfolio of operational risk losses.

Bounds for joint portfolios of dependent risks

In this paper, we survey, extend and improve several bounds for the distribution function and the tail probabilities of portfolios, where the dependence structure within the portfolio is completely unknown or only partially known. We present various methods for obtaining bounds based on rearrangements, duality theory, conditional moments and reduction techniques. In particular, we consider the ...

Comparison of multivariate risks and positive dependence

In this paper we extend some recent results on the comparison of multivariate risk vectors w.r.t. supermodular and related orderings. We introduce a dependence notion called ‘weakly conditional increasing in sequence order’ that allows to conclude that ‘more dependent’ vectors in this ordering are also comparable w.r.t. the supermodular ordering. At the same time this ordering allows to compare...

Computation of Sharp Bounds on the Expected Value of a Supermodular Function of Risks with Given Marginals

We show that the rearrangement algorithm introduced in Puccetti and Rüschendorf (2012a) to compute distributional bounds can be used also to compute sharp lower and upper bounds on the expected value of a supermodular function of d random variables having fixed marginal distributions. Compared to the analytical methods existing in the literature the algorithm is widely applicable, more easily o...
