This paper discusses different classes of loss models in non-life insurance settings. It then overviews the class of Tukey transform loss models that have not yet been widely considered in non-life insurance modelling, but offer opportunities to produce flexible skewness and kurtosis features...

In the world of multivariate extremes, estimation of the dependence structure still presents a challenge and an interesting problem. A procedure for the bivariate case is presented that opens the road to a similar way of handling the problem in a truly multivariate setting. We consider a...

We study the existence of moments and the tail behaviour of the densities of storage processes. We give sufficient conditions for existence and non-existence of moments using the integrability conditions of submultiplicative functions with respect to Levy measures. Then, we study the...

In this paper we investigate the predictive power of cross-sectional volatility, skewness and kurtosis for future stock returns. Adding to the work of Maio (2016), who finds cross-sectional volatility to forecast a decline in the equity premium with high predictive power in-sample as well as...

Based on intraday data for a large cross-section of individual stocks and exchange traded funds, we show that short-term as well as long-term fluctuations of realized market and average idiosyncratic higher moments risks are priced in the cross-section of asset returns. Specifically, we find...

Based on intraday data for cross-section of individual stocks and exchange traded funds we show that transitory as well as persistent fluctuations of realized market and average idiosyncratic higher moments risks are priced in the cross-section of asset returns. We document that investors...
