We introduce the concept of an extremely negatively dependent (END) sequence of random variables with a given common marginal distribution. An END sequence has a partial sum which, subtracted by its mean, does not diverge as the number of random variables goes to infinity. We show that an END...

We give a new sufficient condition for a continuous distribution to be completely mixable, and we use this condition to show that the worst-possible value-at-risk for the sum of d inhomogeneous risks is equivalent to the worst-possible expected shortfall under the same marginal assumptions, in...
