We consider a single period portfolio of n dependent credit risks that are subject to default during the period. We show that using stochastic loss given default random variables in conjunction with default correlations can give rise to an inconsistent set of assumptions for estimating the...

We investigate the influence of the dependence between random losses on the shortfall and on the diversification benefit that arises from merging these losses.We prove that increasing the dependence between losses, expressed in terms of correlation order, has an increasing effect on the...

Orthant probabilities applied in a two-dimensional framework are used to derive quadrant-conditional financial asset return correlations which fully capture both linear and non-linear components of co-variability. We investigate the potential for employing quadrant-conditional correlations in...

The increase in trading frequency of Exchanged Traded Funds (ETFs) presents a positive externality for financial risk management when the price of the ETF is available at a higher frequency than the price of the component stocks. The positive spillover consists in improving the accuracy of...

In this supplementary appendix, we first provide a brief R and Python tutorial for the proposed BAC estimator. Then, we describe the implementation of the BAC estimator in case of microstructure noise and jumps. We further present more detailed empirical results for the BAC estimation applied to...
