Flexible Dependence Modeling for VaR Using Bernstein’s Copula
Vini Yves Bernadin Loyara, Fabrice Ouoba Kpèbbèwèrè Cédric Somé , Remi Guillaume Bagré and Diakarya Barro
In this work, we establish theoretical and numerical links between the Bernstein copula, the Bernstein polynomial, and Value at Risk (VaR) in the context of dependence approximation in financial risk. Thanks to the smoothing induced by this copula, we express the portfolio VaR as the quantile of an approximate joint distribution, highlighting(...)
