Reverse stress tests are a relatively new stress test instrument that aims at finding exactly those scenarios that cause a bank to cross the frontier between survival and default. Afterward, the scenario which is most probable has to be identified. This paper sketches a framework for a...

), CreditMetrics, KMV) still rely on Gaussian copulas. This paper complements the finance literature providing new insights into the … impact of different copulas in stress test applications using supervisory data of 17 large German banks. Our findings imply … high stress effects under extreme scenarios. Heavy-tailed copulas like the Clayton or the t copula are recommended in the …

We propose a nonparametric test that distinguishes “depressions” and “booms” from ordinary recessions and expansions. Depressions and booms are defined as coming from another underlying process than recessions and expansions. We find four depressions and booms in the NBER business cycle...

This paper proposes a test for missing at random (MAR). The MAR assumption is shown to be testable given instrumental variables which are independent of response given potential outcomes. A nonparametric testing procedure based on integrated squared distance is proposed. The statistic's...
