Some Remarks on T-copulas

Risk Management 2010-05-26 v1 Probability Portfolio Management

We examine three methods of constructing correlated Student-tt random variables. Our motivation arises from simulations that utilise heavy-tailed distributions for the purposes of stress testing and economic capital calculations for financial institutions. We make several observations regarding the suitability of the three methods for this purpose.
