Recently, new classes of positive and measurable functions, M(ρ) and M(±∞), have been defined in terms of their asymptotic behaviour at infinity, when normalized by a logarithm (Cadena et al., 2015, 2016, 2017). Looking for other suitable normalizing functions than logarithm seems quite...

We define a new class of positive and Lebesgue measurable functions in terms of their asymptotic behavior, which includes the class of regularly varying functions. We also characterize it by transformations, corresponding to generalized moments when these functions are random variables. We study...

In this paper, we develop a statistical approach to explore empirically the dependence between risks in the extremes. We apply it to study the dependence between mortality and market risks. With data for 6 developed countries, extending over 80 years, we pick the worst 10 years of mortality and...
