Paper is devoted to comparison of various copula models application to investment portfolio risk measurement. Elliptical, Archimedean and hierarchical copulas are considered in the research. The analysis undertaken has shown that hierarchical Clayton model enables to evaluate investment...

The research contains the estimation of Revealed Comparative Advantage indices for food exporters and structural shifts in the global composition of food trade. The finding about the income elasticity of consumption for imported food has been done on the basis of AIDS and QAIDS models. At the...

The paper aims at finding the most optimal individual, collective, and combined yield curve forecasting models. It is shown that incorporating macroeconomic information improves the model's goodness-of-fit characteristics. It is also proved that combined forecasts perform better on average when...

The article deals with the issue of copula use in the program of market risk hedging. Copula-models performance is compared to the OLS-based ones. Fully parametric and semi-parametric approaches to copula-modeling are investigated. The copula-based models efficiency is illustrated by the fact of...

The paper presents the research results on detection of structural breaks in copula models of multivariate time-series. A nonparametric method of structural break identification and estimation is used and its asymptotic characteristics (probabilities of the I and II-type errors, probability of...

The paper deals with the optimization problem aiming to maximize the expected return given the amount of the bank’s open currency positions subject to the level of foreign exchange risk. The goal of the paper is to compare the efficiency of problem-solving assuming either multivariate...

The paper is aimed at making comparative analysis of main market risk features based on the copula-modeling and on the traditional approach which neglects the asymmetry and the fat tails of interest rates joint multivariate distribution. R software is used for practical implementation of the...
