Abstract

By means of goodness-of-fit tests, it is analyzed for a multitude of portfolios consisting of different asset classes whether the stochastic dependence between the portfolios’ constituents can be adequately described by multivariate versions of some standard parametric copula functions. Furthermore, it is tested whether the stochastic dependence between the returns of different asset classes has changed during the recent financial crisis.
