Asymptotic Analysis of Optimal Diversification in Catastrophe Risk Pooling

Catastrophe risk has long been recognized to pose a serious threat to the insurance sector. Catastrophe risk pooling offers an effective way to diversify losses arising from catastrophic events. In this paper, we investigate a structure of catastrophe risk pool and optimize it so that participants c

Estimation of the Adjusted Standard-deviatile for Extreme Risks

In this paper, we modify the Bayes risk for the expectile, the so-called variantile risk measure, to better capture extreme risks. The modified risk measure is called the adjusted standard-deviatile. First, we derive the asymptotic expansions of the adjusted standard-deviatile. Next, based on the fi

How FinTech affects financial sustainability: Evidence from Chinese commercial banks using a three-stage network DEA-Malmquist model

This paper investigates the impact of financial technology (FinTech) on the financial sustainability (FS) of commercial banks. We employ a three-stage network DEA-Malmquist model to evaluate the FS performance of 104 Chinese commercial banks from 2015 to 2023. A two-way fixed effects model is utiliz

Portfolio credit risk with Archimedean copulas: asymptotic analysis and efficient simulation

In this paper, we study large losses arising from defaults of a credit portfolio. We assume that the portfolio dependence structure is modelled by the Archimedean copula family as opposed to the widely used Gaussian copula. The resulting model is new, and it has the capability of capturing extremal

Asymptotic Properties of Generalized Shortfall Risk Measures for Heavy-tailed Risks

We study a general risk measure called the generalized shortfall risk measure, which was first introduced in Mao and Cai (2018). It is proposed under the rank-dependent expected utility framework, or equivalently induced from the cumulative prospect theory. This risk measure can be flexibly designed

Asymptotics of Sum of Heavy-tailed Risks with Copulas

We study the tail asymptotics of the sum of two heavy-tailed random variables. The dependence structure is modeled by copulas with the so-called tail order property. Examples are presented to illustrate the approach. Further for each example we apply the main results to obtain the asymptotic expansi

Conditional generalized quantiles based on expected utility model and equivalent characterization of properties

As a counterpart to the (static) risk measures of generalized quantiles and motivated by Bellini et al. (2018), we propose a new kind of conditional risk measure called conditional generalized quantiles. We first show their well-definedness and they can be equivalently characterised by a conditional
