# Our paper on two sample testing for tail copulas is forthcoming in the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics.
# My PhD student Evgenii Vladimirov has received the Best Paper Award for Early-Career Scholars at the 2023 SoFiE Conference (Seoul).
# Our paper on earthquake risk valuation is forthcoming in the Journal of the American Statistical Association.
# Our approximation to the RDU risk premium is forthcoming in Operations Research. It reveals that the maxiance stands on equal footing with the variance as a fundamental measure of risk. It also provides a local index of absolute risk aversion in rank-dependent utility (RDU).
# Our paper on distribution-free goodness-of-fit testing for copulas is forthcoming in Bernoulli.
# Awarded a VICI grant by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) to Model and Measure 21st-Century Risks.
# Former PhD student Merrick Zhen Li has been awarded the Joop Hartog Dissertation Award.
# Our paper on dual risk apportionment is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Theory. In this paper, we introduce the concept of squeezing.
