Mechanisms to incentivize divestment strategies, such as divestment schedules, are an important component of carbon reduction strategies. We find that the risk/return profile of divested S&P 500 portfolios is typically indifferent to divestment schedules, but instantaneous divestment benefits...

"Covers key mathematical and statistical aspects of the quantitative modelling of heavy tailed loss processes in operational risk and insurance settings. Includes advanced topics on risk modelling in high consequence low frequency loss processes, key aspects of extreme value theory, and...

This paper develops a matrix-variate adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methodology for Bayesian Cointegrated Vector Auto Regressions (CVAR). We replace the popular approach to sampling Bayesian CVAR models, involving griddy Gibbs, with an automated efficient alternative, based on the...

The intention of this paper is to estimate a Bayesian distribution-free chain ladder (DFCL) model using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methodology. We demonstrate how to estimate quantities of interest in claims reserving and compare the estimates to those obtained from classical and...
