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...

We introduce the Mixability Detection Procedure (MDP) to check whether a set of d distribution functions is jointly mixable at a given confidence level. The procedure is based on newly established results regarding the convergence rate of the minimal variance problem within the class of joint...

The probabilistic characterization of the relationship between two or more random variables calls for a notion of dependence. Dependence modeling leads to mathematical and statistical challenges; recent developments in extremal dependence concepts have drawn a lot of attention in probability and...

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the portfolio diversification ratio based on Value-at-Risk (quantile) under dependence uncertainty, which we refer to as "worst-case diversification limit." We show that the worst-case diversification limit is equal to the upper limit of...
