“…The indices of tail dependence typically used in the literature are defined in terms of copula behavior along the main diagonal path of C(u, u). However, the tail dependence of copulas can be substantially stronger along other paths [7,8]. For this reason, the authors were unable to capture the right degree of tail dependence.…”

We define a new distance measure for ranking data using a mixture of copula functions. Our distance measure evaluates the dissimilarity of subjects' ranking preferences to segment them via hierarchical cluster analysis. The proposed distance measure builds upon Spearman grade correlation coefficient on a copula transformation of rank denoting the level of importance assigned by subjects on the classification of k objects. These mixtures of copulae enable flexible modeling of the different types of dependence structures found in data and the consideration of various circumstances in the classification process. For example, by using mixtures of copulae with lower and upper tail dependence, we can emphasize the agreement on extreme ranks when they are considered important.

The coefficient of tail dependence is a quantity that measures how extreme events in one component of a bivariate distribution depend on extreme events in the other component. It is well known that the Gaussian copula has zero tail dependence, a shortcoming for its application in credit risk modeling and quantitative risk management in general. We show that this property is shared by the joint distributions of hitting times of bivariate (uniformly elliptic) diffusion processes.

A new family of modified Gaussian copulas for market consistent valuation of government guarantees

et al. 2022

This paper deals with a copula-based stochastic dependence problem in the context of financial risks. We discuss the financial framework for assessing the theoretical up-front value of government guarantees on bank liabilities. EU States widely use these contracts to improve the financial system’s stability and manage the banking sector in crisis situations; in Italy, they have also been used to address the consequences of the Covid-19 emergency. From a market viewpoint, we deal with a defaultable guarantee contract where the State-guarantor and the bank-borrower are both subject to default risk, and their risks are interconnected. We show that the classical Gaussian copula is not satisfactory for modeling the dependence among the considered risks. Indeed, using the benchmark market model for credit risk portfolio management, we highlight some contradictory results observed for the up-front values of the guarantee when the default intensity of the guarantor is smaller than that of the borrower. Then, we introduce a new family of modified Gaussian copulas that overcomes the limitations of the standard approach, allowing to determine realistic results in terms of the guarantees “mark-to-model” value when the benchmark market model does not work. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical proposal.

Tail dependence of the Gaussian copula revisited

Abstract: Abstract. Tail dependence refers to clustering of extreme events. In the context of financial risk management, the clustering of high-severity risks has a devastating effect on the well-being of firms and is thus of pivotal importance in risk analysis.
