Long memory in volatility is a stylized fact found in most financial return series. This paper empirically investigates the extent to which interdependence in emerging markets may be driven by conditional short and long range dependence in volatility. We fit copulas to pairs of raw and filtered...

In this paper we study the accumulated claim in some fixed time period, skipping the classical assumption of mutual independence between the variables involved. Two basic models are considered: Model 1 assumes that any pair of claims are equally correlated which means that the corresponding...

The main goal of this article is to generalize the bivariate lack-of-memory property introduced in Marshall & Olkin (1967). Several characterizations of bivariate continuous distributions possessing such a property are established and illustrated by examples.

In this paper, a simple relation between the Leimkuhler curve and the mean residual life is established. The result is illustrated with several models commonly used in informetrics, such as exponential, Pareto and lognormal. Finally, relationships with some other reliability concepts are also...

We consider pairwise tail behavior of return series for identifying most important emerging markets clusters. Pairs of markets belonging to the same group present similar type and strength of interdependence during stressful times, represented by a common copula and a statistically equivalent...
