Title: Dependence modeling for multivariate processes with applications in
finance and insurance
Abstract: In the first part of the talk we discuss different methods for
constructing multivariate counting processes and investigate their
properties. As interpretation of these counting processes we have claim
arrivals of different business lines of an insurance company in mind. Some
asymptotic results of Cramer type for ruin probabilities are also shown.
In the second part of the talk we investigate the class of multivariate Levy
processes and characterize dependence properties by means of the Levy
measure and the Levy copula. Comparison results for Levy processes are also
given. These findings are applied to some financial and actuarial models.
