Recent literature has investigated the risk aggregation of a portfolio X=(Xi) under the sole assumption that the marginal distributions of the risks Xi are specified but not their dependence structure. There exists a range of possible values for any risk measure of S=X1 X2 ... Xn and the...

We study issues of robustness in the context of Quantitative Risk Management and Optimization. We develop a general methodology for determining whether a given risk measurement related optimization problem is robust, which we call "robustness against optimization". The new notion is studied for...

We address the problem of risk sharing among agents using a two-parameter class of quantile-based risk measures, the so-called Range-Value-at-Risk (RVaR), as their preferences. The family of RVaR includes the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and the Expected Shortfall (ES), the two popular and competing...

Based on a novel extension of classical Hoeffding-Fréchet bounds, we provide an upper VaR bound for joint risk portfolios with fixed marginal distributions and positive dependence information. The positive dependence information can be assumed to hold in the tails, in some central part, or on a...

We show that the rearrangement algorithm introduced in Puccetti and Rüschendorf (2012) to compute distributional bounds can be used also to compute sharp lower and upper bounds on the expected value of a supermodular function of d random variables having fixed marginal distributions. Compared...
