Abstract

Since the beginning of the decade, the frequency and impact of financial crises have gained magnitude continuously. As a consequence, research in the field of extreme risks has enjoyed prioritization in the field of risk management (for example Chou et al., 2005; Malevergne et al., 2005; Capiello et al., 2006; Gelagati et al., 2006; Xie et al., 2006; Colacito et al., 2009; Karandikar et al., 2009). Today, the primary goal for institutions and investors has shifted to ensuring long-term survival in the financial markets before business.
