A new multivariate distribution possessing arbitrarily parametrized univariate Pareto margins is introduced. Unlike the probability law of Asimit et al. (2010) [Asimit, V., Furman, E. and Vernic, R. (2010). “On a multivariate Pareto distribution,” Insurance: Mathematics and Economics 46(2),...

Solutions to the parameter estimation problem of the multivariate Pareto distribution of Asimit et al. (2010) are developed and exemplified numerically. Namely, a density of the aforementioned multivariate Pareto distribution with respect to a dominating measure, rather than the corresponding...

In a recent paper [Albrecher, Constantinescu and Loisel (2011). Explicit ruin formulas for models with dependence among risks. Insurance: Mathematics and Economics 48(2), 265 – 270] Professors Hansjörg Albrecher, Corina Constantinescu and Stephane Loisel noted – in passing – a way to...

One way to formulate a multivariate probability distribution with dependent univariate margins distributed gamma is by using the closure under convolutions property. This direction yields an additive background risk model, and it has been very well-studied. An alternative way to accomplish the...

A multivariate distribution possessing arbitrarily parameterized Pareto margins is formulated and studied. The distribution is believed to allow for an adequate modeling of dependent heavy tailed risks with a non-zero probability of simultaneous loss. Numerous links to certain nowadays existing...
