This paper explores the properties of a family of bivariate copulas based on a new approach using the counter-monotonic shock method. The resulting copula covers the full range of negative dependence induced by one parameter. Expressions for the copula and density are derived and many...

This paper studies how to construct and compare various optimal portfolio frame-works for investors in the context of the Vietnamese stock market. The aim of the study is to help investors to find solutions for constructing an optimal portfolio strategy using modern investment frameworks in the...

Highlights:• State-of-art review of vine copulas and stationary vine copulas.• Two types of vine copula models to capture cross-sectional and temporal dependence in ESG data.• Extreme ESG classes (i.e., classes A and D) show the highest and nonGaussian dependence to the market.• Future...

We propose a multi-asset pricing model which allows both the calibration to single-asset vanilla options, and the specification of any joint terminal distribution at each step of a discrete time grid. We also propose a way to calibrate that joint terminal distributions via normal mean-variance...

Despite the technology sector being highly responsive to market fluctuations, individual instances of its lower sensitivity to high market volatility and crisis are documented. This paper analyzes the dependence between the stock market volatility and technology stocks on the U.S. market using...

This paper provides a framework for modeling the dependence structure in the foreign exchange market. We first employ generalized autoregressive heteroskedasticity models to estimate the marginal distributions of the exchange rates. The conditional copula is then applied to the marginal...

Climate change and sustainability have become societal focal points in the last decade. Consequently, companies have been increasingly characterized by non-financial information, such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores, based on which companies can be grouped into ESG classes....

This paper features an analysis of cryptocurrencies and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their effectiveness as a portfolio diversification tool and explores the correlations between the continuously compounded returns on Bitcoin, Ethereum and the S&P500 Index using a variety of parametric...

Copula modelling is a popular tool in analysing the dependencies between variables. Copula modelling allows the investigation of tail dependencies, which is of particular interest in risk and survival applications. Copula modelling is also of specific interest to economic and financial modelling...

This study investigates the tail dependence structures of sovereign credit default swaps (CDSs) and three global risk factors in BRICS countries using a copula approach, which is popular for capturing the “true” tail dependence based on the “distribution-adjusted” joint marginals. The...
