包含股指期货的投资组合之风险研究——Copula方法在金融风险管理中的应用

本文运用Copula方法研究了含股指期货的投资组合的风险度量问题.由于股指期货和股票现货之间存在很大的相关性,因此在度量组合的风险时,各资产间的相关结构起到了关键作用,但这一相关结构很难用线性的相关系数去刻画,本文采用Copula模型来描述相关结构。而后,我们构建了基于Copula理论的风险度量指标PVaR,并验证了不同Copula模型的拟合效果.我们利用沪深300指数的数据来研究股指期货和现货的相关结构,并使用了多种Copula函数结合不同的边际分布假设进行了模拟,说明了Copula方法在风险度量尤其是包含了股指期货的投资组合的风险度量上具有较高的精确性.

Pricing bivariate option under GARCH processes with time-varying copula

This paper develops a method for pricing bivariate contingent claims under General Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroskedastic (GARCH) process. As the association between the underlying assets may vary over time, the dynamic copula with time-varying parameter offers a better alternative to any static model for dependence structure and even to the dynamic copula model determined by dynamic dependence measure. Therefore, the proposed method proves to play an important role in pricing bivariate options. The approach is illustrated with one type of better-of-two-markets claims: call option on the better performer of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Composite Indexes. Results show that the option prices obtained by the time-varying copula model differ substantially from the prices implied by the static copula model and even the dynamic copula model derived from the dynamic dependence measure. Moreover, the empirical work displays the advantages of the suggested method.     

Dependence structure between LIBOR rates by copula method

This paper discusses the correlation structure between London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) by using the copula function. We start from one simplified model of A. Brace, D. Gatarek, and M. Musiela (1997) and find out that the copula function between two LIBOR rates can be expressed as a sum of an infinite series, where the main term is a distribution function with Gaussian copula. Partial differential equation method is used for deriving the copula expansion. Numerical results show that the copula of the LIBOR rates and Gaussian copula are very close in the central region and differ in the tail, and the Gaussian copula approximation to the copula function between the LIBOR rates provides satisfying results in the normal situation.     

Comparison of three semiparametric methods for estimating dependence parameters in copula models

Three semiparametric methods for estimating dependence parameters in copula models are compared, namely maximum pseudo-likelihood estimation and the two method-of-moment approaches based on the inversion of Spearman’s rho and Kendall’s tau. For each of these three asymptotically normal estimators, an estimator of their asymptotic (co)variance is stated in three different situations, namely the bivariate one-parameter case, the multivariate one-parameter case and the multivariate multiparameter case. An extensive Monte Carlo study is carried out to compare the finite-sample performance of the three estimators under consideration in these three situations. In the one-parameter case, it involves up to six bivariate and four-variate copula families, and up to five levels of dependence. In the multiparameter case, attention is restricted to trivariate and four-variate normal and t copulas. The maximum pseudo-likelihood estimator appears as the best choice in terms of mean square error in all situations except for small and weakly dependent samples. It is followed by the method-of-moment estimator based on Kendall’s tau, which overall appears to be significantly better than its analogue based on Spearman’s rho. The simulation results are complemented by asymptotic relative efficiency calculations. The numerical computation of Spearman’s rho, Kendall’s tau and their derivatives in the case of copula families for which explicit expressions are not available is also investigated.

Rank-based inference tools for copula regression,with property and casualty insurance applications

Rank-based procedures are commonly used for inference in copula models for continuous responses whose behavior does not depend on covariates. This paper describes how these procedures can be adapted to the broader framework in which (possibly non-linear) regression models for the marginal responses are linked by a copula that does not depend on covariates. The validity of many of these techniques can be derived from the asymptotic equivalence between the classical empirical copula process and its analog based on suitable residuals from the marginal models. Moment-based parameter estimation and copula goodness-of-fit tests are shown to remain valid under weak conditions on the marginal error term distributions, even when the residual-based empirical copula process fails to converge weakly. The performance of these procedures is evaluated through simulation in the context of two general insurance applications: micro-level multivariate insurance claims, and dependent loss triangles.     

A New Graphical Tool for Copula Selection

The selection of copulas is an important aspect of dependence modeling. In many practical applications, only a limited number of copulas is tested, and the modeling applications usually are restricted to the bivariate case. One explanation is the fact that no graphical copula tool exists that allows us to assess the goodness-of-fit of a large set of (possible higher-dimensional) copula functions at once. This article seeks to overcome this problem by developing a new graphical tool for the copula selection, based on a statistical analysis technique called “principal coordinate analysis.” The advantage is three-fold. First, when projecting the empirical copula of a modeling application on a two-dimensional (2D) copula space, it allows us to visualize the fit of a whole collection of multivariate copulas at once. Second, the visual tool allows us to identify “search” directions for potential fit improvements (e.g., through the use of copula transforms). Finally, the tool makes it also possible to give a 2D visual overview of a large number of known copula families, leading to a better understanding and a more efficient use of the different copula families. The robustness of the new graphical tool is investigated by means of a small simulation study, and the practical use of the tool is demonstrated for two 2D and two 3D (three-dimensional) fitting examples. MATLAB code through the examples is available online in the supplementary materials.
