We estimate the impact of macroeconomic risk factors on shipping stock returns, using a quantile regression (QR) model. We regress the excess return of a portfolio for the container, dry bulk, chemical/gas, oil tanker, and diversified shipping sectors on the world market portfolio excess return,...

Recently, Branzei, Dimitrov, and Tijs (2003) introduced cooperative interval-valued games. Among other insights, the notion of an interval core has been coined and proposed as a solution concept for interval-valued games. In this paper we will present a general mathematical programming algorithm...

Statistical modeling techniques-and factor models in particular-are extensively used in practice, especially in the insurance and finance industry, where many risks have to be accounted for. In risk management applications, it might be important to analyze the situation when fixing the value of...

This survey reviews the large and growing literature on the use of pair-copula constructions (PCCs) in financial applications. Using a PCC, multivariate data that exhibit complex patterns of dependence can be modeled using bivariate copulae as simple building blocks. Hence, this model represents...

A comprehensive auto insurance policy usually provides the broadest protection for the most common events for which the policyholder would file a claim. On the other hand, some insurers offer extended third-party car insurance to adapt to the personal needs of every policyholder. The extra...

This paper has attempted studying the twin issues of asymmetry/leverage effect and excess kurtosis prevalent in India's stock returns under alternative volatility specifications as well as conditional distributional assumptions. This study has been carried out using daily-level data, based on...

This paper starts by showing that … actually, IVs are still valid under a weaker condition than monotonicity. It then derives conditions that are sufficient for … applications where this weaker condition is applicable while monotonicity is not. Overall, this paper extends the applicability of …
