Several extreme events in history have shown that the low probability and high impact extreme values may result in catastrophic losses. In this paper, we propose the use of extreme value theory with a time-varying framework to model the bivariate dependent insurance occurrences and provide more reliable risk measures, such as value at risk and expected shortfall. In this paper three models are considered; time series for the underlying volatility of the data, extreme value theory for the tail estimation, and copula to model the dependence structure are combined. The performance of the proposed generalized Pareto-GARCH-Copula model is tested using the violation numbers and backtesting methods. We then aim to assess the combined model in terms of its effectiveness in reducing the ruin probability. Results show that, compared to well-known traditional methods, which may underestimate the extreme risks, the dynamic generalized Pareto-GARCH-Copula model captures better the real-life data's behavior and results in lower ruin probabilities for heavy-tailed and non-conventional dependent insurance data.

Affect of shear strength criteria selection in probabilistic rock slope stability analyses: A case study for a jointed rock slope in Norway
Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Bhasin, R. K. (2007-05-31)
Probabilistic rock slope stability analyses are essential to risk assessments, as risk is defined by the probability of occurrence of an instability multiplied by the consequences of the failure. Usually, probabilistic rock slope stability problems are modeled using the Coulomb failure criterion since it is linear, providing simple modeling algorithms. It is acknowledged widely that rock slope stability problems may exhibit non-linear failure behavior, leading to consideration of non-linear limit equilibriu...
Assessment of longevity risk: credibility approach
Kestel, Ayşe Sevtap; Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre (2021-05-01)
To correctly measure the effect of mortality rates on the stability of insurance and pension provider's financial risk, longevity risk should be considered. This paper aims to investigate the future mortality and longevity risk with different age structures for different countries. Lee–Carter mortality model is used on the historical census data to forecast future mortality rates. Turkey, Germany, and Japan are chosen concerning their expected life and population distributions. Then, the longevity risk on a...
Identification of risk paths in international construction projects
Eybpoosh, Matineh; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Within the context of construction projects, risk is generally defined as an uncertain happening which is the function of its occurrence probability and the severity of its possible impacts on pre-defined objectives. According to this definition, international construction projects are high-risk endeavors, since they are known with their complex natures, large sizes, multidisciplinary frameworks, and unfamiliar and uncertain environments. International construction projects have more complex risk emergence ...
Dynamic correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets: The asymmetric impact of volatility expectations in oil, gold and financial markets
Kocaarslan, BARIŞ; Sarı, Ramazan; GORMUS, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2017-09-01)
This study investigates the impacts of volatility expectations in oil, gold, currency and the U.S. stock markets on time-varying conditional correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets. We use asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation and dynamic conditional correlation models to derive the time-varying relationships. We then examine the dynamic conditional correlations using quantile regressions for a detailed analysis of dependence structure containing non-linear and asymmetric interactions. Our res...
Predictive factors of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic growth among the survivors of Van, 2011, earthquakes’ trauma
Elçi , Özcan; Bozo Özen, Özlem; Department of Psychology (2021-2-08)
Earthquakes, like other natural major disasters involves trauma resulting from exposure and/or witnessing to deaths and injuries, extreme fear of threatening situations, loss of a significant one, monetary loss and need of extreme physical power. On the other hand, the survivors may have also present positive changes in face of adversity. In present study, both negative and positive impacts of Van earthquakes which happened in 23rd of October and 9th of November 2011 are examined. 630 volunteer teachers fro...
