In this paper we provide a review of copula theory with applications to finance. We illustrate the idea on the bivariate framework and discuss the simple, elliptical and Archimedean classes of copulae. Since the copulae model the dependency structure between random variables, next we explain the...

In this paper we derive closed-form solutions for the cumulative density function and the average value-at-risk for five subclasses of the infinitely divisible distributions: classical tempered stable distribution, Kim-Rachev distribution, modified tempered stable distribution, normal tempered...
