Aggregation and diversi...cation e¤ect of dependent random variables
نویسنده
چکیده
We choose two identically distributed dependent risks X1 and X2 with dependence structure modelled by an Archimedean copula. Then we are able to analyze diversi...cation e¤ects in the tails of aggregate dependent risks, i.e. for large u we study P [X1+X2 ̧ u] » c ¢P [X1 ̧ u=2], where c describes the diversi...cation e¤ect.

Speciation and diversi®cation of parasite lineages: an analysis of congeneric parasite species in vertebrates
The evolutionary diversi®cation of living organisms is a central research theme in evolutionary ecology, and yet it remains dicult to infer the action of evolutionary processes from patterns in the distribution of rates of diversi®cation among related taxa. Using data from helminth parasite communities in 76 species of birds and 114 species of mammals, the in ̄uence of four factors that may eit...
متن کاملDiversi®cation and the value of internal capital markets: The case of tracking stock
Diversi®ed ®rms trade at a discount relative to comparable portfolios of stand-alone ®rms. One explanation is that these ®rms have inecient internal capital markets. We examine the link between ®rm value and the value of internal capital markets using a new form of corporate restructuring called tracking stock. We present a model that illustrates that the announcement eect of a tracking stock...

The determinants of transitions between di erent states of nancial distress are analyzed using two versions of Markov chain models: a multinomial logit model without random e ects and a multinomial logit model capturing such unobservable factors. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data set containing information on 15,538 East German rms founded between 1994 and 1999. The estimation res...
متن کاملFour types of e¤ect modication - a classication based on directed acyclic graphs
By expressing the conditional causal risk di¤erence as a sum of products of stratum speci c risk di¤erences and conditional probabilities, it is possible to give a classi cation of the types of causal relationships that can give rise to e¤ect modi cation on the risk di¤erence scale. Directed acyclic graphs make clear the necessary causal relationships for a particular variable to serve as an e¤...
متن کاملDynamics of clade diversi®cation on the morphological hypercube
Understanding the relationship between taxonomic and morphological changes is important in identifying the reasons for accelerated morphological diversi¢cation early in the history of animal phyla. Here, a simple general model describing the joint dynamics of taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity is presented and applied to the data on the diversi¢cation of blastozoans. I show that th...
