In this paper we explore the problem of economic capital allocations in the context of non-negative multivariate (insurance) risks possessing a dependence structure. We derive a general result and illustrate it with a number of useful examples. One such example, for instance, develops explicit...

Stein's Lemma, important in statistics and also in capital asset pricing models, is generalized to the case of elliptical class of distributions. The case when the covariance matrix of the underlying distribution does not exist, is also considered. The results are illustrated by multivariate...
