Recent crises in the financial industry have shown weaknesses in the modeling of Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs). Relatively minor model changes may lead to substantial changes in the RWA numbers. Similar problems are encountered in the Value-at-Risk (VaR)-aggregation of risks. In this article, we...

The problem of finding the best-possible lower bound on the distribution of a non-decreasing function of n dependent risks is solved when n=2 and a lower bound on the copula of the portfolio is provided. The problem gets much more complicated in arbitrary dimensions. When no information on the...

As an emerging field of applied research, quantitative risk management (QRM) poses a lot of challenges for probabilistic and statistical modeling. This review provides a discussion on selected past, current, and possible future areas of research at the intersection of statistics and QRM. Topics...
