Introduction

IntroductionOverview

Financial crisis has turned spotlight on risk management.

Seconded by stricter regulatory framework.

In this talk:

no debate whether quants have failed or not,but some more recent techniques shall be outlined and elucidated withexamples using R.

Introduction

IntroductionStylized facts for single return series

Daily returns though only marginally autocorrelated are usually noti.i.d.

Volatility does not remain constant over time.

Absolute or squared returns are strongly autocorrelated.

Density of a return process is leptokurtic (i.e. fat tails).

Clustering of extreme returns (i.e. volatility clustering).

IntroductionStylized facts for multiple return series

Simultaneous returns are significantly correlated, whereascross-correlations are less pronounced.

Absolute and squared returns exhibit clear correlation.

Correlations of concurrent returns vary over time.

Extreme values in a return series often correspond to extreme valuesin other time series.

Introduction

IntroductionLosses as random variables

Quantitative risk measures are based on a probability model.

Wealth, Vt , is a random variable and is functionally related to time, t,and risk factors, Zt .

Future wealth, Vt+∆, is unknown and hence the loss:Lt,t+∆ = −(Vt+∆ − Vt).

As such the losses are random variables with a probabilitydistribution, called the loss distribution (either conditional orunconditional if time-independent).

Modeling Dependence

Modeling DependenceOverview

Copulae are a concept to model dependence between randomvariables.

Copulae are distribution functions.

Copulae concept: Bottom-up approach to multivariate model-building.

Applications: Measure dependence, tail dependence, Monte Carlostudies.

Modeling Dependence

Modeling DependenceDefinition

In prose: A d-dimensional copula is a distribution function on [0, 1]d withstandard uniform marginal distributions. Hence, the copula C is a mappingof the form C : [0, 1]d → [0, 1], i.e., a mapping of the unit hyper cube intothe unit interval.

Modeling Dependence

Modeling DependenceSklar’s Theorem

Let F be a joint distribution function with margins F1, . . . ,Fd . Then there existsa copula C : [0, 1]d → [0, 1] such that for all x1, . . . , xd in R = [−∞,∞],

F (x1, . . . , xd) = C (F1(x1), . . . ,Fd(xd)) . (12)

If the margins are continuous, then C is unique; otherwise C is uniquely

determined on RanF1 × RanF2 × · · · × RanFd , where RanFi = Fi (R) denotes the

range of Fi . Conversely, if C is a copula and F1, . . . ,Fd are univariate distribution

functions, then the function F defined in (12) is a joint distribution function with

margins F1, . . . ,Fd .

If C is any d-copula, then for every u in [0, 1]d ,

W d(u) ≤ C (u) ≤ Md(u) , (13)

whereby

W d(u) = max(d∑

i=1

ui + 1− d , 0) (14)

Md(u) = min(u1, . . . , ud) (15)

The function Md(u) is a d-copula for d ≥ 2, whereas the function W d(u)is not a copula for any d ≥ 3. Please note, that these bounds hold for anymultivariate df F .

Fundamental copulas: These copulae represent important specialdependence structures. Examples are: the independence copula, thecomonotonicity copula (Frechet-Hoeffding upper bound, perfectlypositively dependent), the countermonotonicity copula(Frechet-Hoeffding lower bound, perfectly negatively dependent)

Implicit copulas: These copulae are extracted from well-knownmultivariate distributions using Sklar’s Theorem. Ordinarily, thesecopulae do not possess simple closed-form expressions. Examples are:Gauß copula, t copula.

Explicit copulas: These copulae have simple closed-form expressions.Examples are: Gumbel copula, Clayton copula.

Modeling DependenceConfusion about Correlations

“Among nine big economies, stock market correlations have averagedaround 0.5 since the 1960s. In other words, for every 1% rise (or fall)in, say, American share prices, share prices in the other markets willtypically rise (fall) by 0.5%.” (The Economist, 8th November 1997)

“A correlation of 0.5 does not indicate that a return fromstock-market A will be 50% of stockmarket B’s return, or vice-versa. . . A correlation of 0.5 shows that 50% of the time the return ofstockmarket A will be positively correlated with the return of stockmarket B, and 50% of the time it will not.” (The Economist (letter),22nd November 1997)

Modeling Dependence

Modeling DependenceCorrelation pitfalls I

The use of correlation coefficients as a measure of dependence andrisk allocation between risky assets is widespread.

However, applying correlation coefficients blindly to multivariate datasets might be misleading.

Working with correlation coefficients is unproblematic in the case ofjointly normally distributed series. (this holds true for all ellipticaldistributions).

Modeling DependenceCorrelation pitfalls II

Fallacy 1: Marginal distributions and correlation determine the jointdistribution.

Only true, if assets are following an elliptical distribution.

If the series are non-elliptically distributed, then there are infinitelymany distributions that will fit the data.

Correlation coefficients do not contain information abouttail-dependencies between risky assets.

Modeling DependenceCorrelation pitfalls III

Fallacy 2: Given marginal distributions F1 and F2 for X1 and X2, all linearcorrelations between −1 and 1 can be attained through suitablespecification of the joint distribution F .

Only true, if assets are following an elliptical distribution.

In general, the attainable correlations depend on F1 and F2 and form aclosed interval [ρmin, ρmax ] containing zero that is a subset of [−1, 1].

For instance, given a bivariate log-normal distribution the valid rangeof ρ is [−0.090, 0.666].

Hence, a low correlation does not point to a low dependence betweentwo random variables!

Modeling Dependence

Modeling DependenceCorrelation pitfalls: Summary

1 Correlation is simply a scalar measure of dependency; it cannot tell useverything we would like to know about the dependence structure of risks.

2 Possible values of correlation depend on the marginal distribution of therisks. All values between −1 and 1 are not necessarily attainable.

3 Perfectly positively dependent risks do not necessarily have a correlation of1; perfectly negatively dependent risks do not necessarily have a correlationof −1.

4 A correlation of zero does not indicate independence of risks.

5 Correlation is not invariant under transformations of the risks. For example,log(X ) and log(Y ) generally do not have the same correlation as X and Y .

6 Correlation is only defined when the variances of the risks are finite. It is notan appropriate dependence measure for very heavy-tailed risks wherevariances appear infinite.

Modeling DependenceCoefficients of Tail Dependence I

Coefficients of tail dependence are measures of pairwise dependencethat depend only on the copula of a pair of rvs X1 and X2.

These coefficients provide a measure of extremal dependence, i.e., thedependence in tails of the distribution.

Here, the measures are defined in terms of limiting conditionalprobabilities of quantile exceedances.

Modeling DependenceCoefficients of Tail Dependence II

Definition

Let X1 and X2 be rvs with dfs F1 and F2. The coefficient of upperdependence of X1 and X2 is:

λu := λu(X1,X2) = limq→1−

P(X2 > F−12 (q)|X1 > F−1

1 (q)) ,

provided a limit λu ∈ [0, 1] exists. If λu ∈ [0, 1], then X1 and X2 are saidto show upper tail dependence or extremal dependence in the upper tail; ifλu = 0, they are asymptotically independent in the upper tail.Analogously, the coefficient of lower tail dependence is:

λl := λl(X1,X2) = limq→0+

P(X2 ≤ F−12 (q)|X1 ≤ F−1

1 (q)) ,

provided a limit λl ∈ [0, 1] exists.

Modeling DependenceCoefficients of Tail Dependence III

Upper tail dependence for the Gumbel copula: λu = 2− 21/θ forθ > 1.

Lower tail dependence for the Clayton copula: λl = 2−1/θ for θ > 0.

Because of its symmetry the lower and upper tail dependencecoefficients are equal for the Gauß and t copulae. It can be shownthat the Gauß copula is asymptotically independent in both tails. Forthe t copula the coefficient of tail dependence is defined as:

λ = 2tν+1

√(ν + 1)(1− ρ)

),

provided that ρ > −1.
