Consider n i.i.d. random vectors on R2, with unknown, common distribution function F. Under a sharpening of the extreme value condition on F, we derive a weighted approximation of the corresponding tail copula process. Then we construct a test to check whether the extreme value condition holds...

Quantifying risks is of importance in insurance. In this paper, we employ the jackknife empirical likelihood method to construct confidence intervals for some risk measures and related quantities studied by Jones and Zitikis (2003). A simulation study shows the advantages of the new method over...
