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...

In this paper, we present a class of multivariate copulas whose two-dimensional marginals belong to the family of bivariate Frechet copulas. The coordinates of a random vector distributed as one of these copulas are conditionally independent. We prove that these multivariate copulas are uniquely...

In this paper, the dependence structure of a Schur-constant model is investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition for a random vector to be Schur-constant is given, and some properties of the Schur-constant model are presented as well. Several applications of the Schur-constant model in...

Researchers in actuarial sciences have investigated the tail behavior of the LCR and ECOMOR reinsurance treaties separately for managing extreme risks in reinsurance business. In practice, a reinsurance company may possess these two treaties simultaneously. Therefore, investigating the joint...
