Abstract

Portfolio selection and hedging problems in finance require the quantification of the risk arising from extreme events involving a collection of variables. I will describe statistical methods which aim to combine financial structure, empirical findings and asymptotically motivated semi-parametric extreme value models. The methods will be applied to closing price stock market data from different countries.
