报告题目⏏️： Semi-parametric Dynamic Max-copulaModel for Multivariate Time Series

报告人🧑🏼‍🚒：张正军🪯，University of Wisconsin

报告摘要：This paper presents a novelnonlinear framework for the construction of flexible multivariate dependencestructure (i.e., copula) from existing copulas based on a straightforward ``pairwisemax'' rule. The newly constructed max-copula has a closed form and has strong interpretability.Compared to the classical ``linear symmetric'' mixture copula, the max-copulacan be viewed as a ``non-linear asymmetric'' framework. It is capable ofmodeling asymmetric dependence and joint tail behavior while also offering goodperformance in non-extremal behavior modeling. Max-copulas that are based onsingle-factor and block-factor models are developed to offer parsimoniousmodeling for structured dependence, especially in high-dimensionalapplications. Combined with semi-parametric time series models, the max-copulacan be used to develop flexible and accurate models for multivariate time series.A new semi-parametric composite maximum likelihood method is proposed forparameter estimation, where the consistency and asymptotic normality ofestimators are established. The flexibility of the max-copula and the accuracyof the proposed estimation procedure are illustrated through extensive numericalexperiments. Real data applications in Value at Risk estimation and portfoliooptimization for financial risk management demonstrate the max-copula'spromising ability to accurately capture joint movements of high-dimensionalmultivariate stock returns under both normal and crisis regime of the financialmarket. This is a joint work with Zifeng Zhao.
