follows a normal distribution.

• VaR(p) at confidence level p: maximum loss not exceeded with a given probability level p, defined as the confidence level
Pr[Return(t) < -Var(p)] = 1-p
• VaR at 95% confidence level: p=0.95• VaR at 99% confidence level: p=0.99
VaR: Value-at-Risk
In probabilistic terms, VaR(p) is the p-quantile of the loss distribution.27

Its main advantages
From a practical point of view, a copula must:• Be easy to handle even in high dimension,• Account for non-exchangeable risks,• Involve only a few parameters,• Allow for a robust estimation of the
parameters

Its main advantages
From a theoretical point of view:• Traditional financial theory relies on the
Gaussian copula,• Default modeling: KMV, CreditMetrics,
Basle II,…• Options on basket

Its drawbacks
• Weak dependence in the tails:

Its drawbacks
•For n=2-3, the dependence structure is correctly capture by the Gaussian copula
•For n>3, the Gaussian copula underestimates the true dependence

Test statisticsH0: The dependence between N random variables X1,…,XN can be described by the Gaussian copula.Proposition: Assuming that the N-dimensional random vector X=(X1,…,XN), with marginal distribution Fi, satisfies H0 then, the variable:
where the matrix r is given by
follows a χ2-distribution with N degrees of freedom.

We consider two financial time series (N=2) of size T:{x1(1),…,x1(t),…,x1(T)} and {x2(1),…,x2(t),…,x2(T)}.
The cumulative distribution of each variable xi, which is estimatedempirically, is given by:
where 1{·} is the indicator function, which equals one if its argument istrue and zero otherwise. We use these estimated cumulativedistributions to obtain the Gaussian variables as

Power of the testCan we distinguish between a Gaussian copula and a Student copula ? The values p95%(ν,ρ) shown in the table give the minimum values that the significance p should take in order to be able to reject the hypothesis that a Student's copula with ν degrees and correlation ρ is undistinguishable from a Gaussian copula at the 95% confidence level. p is the probability that pairsof Gaussian random variables with the correlation coefficient ρ have a distance (between the distribution of z2 and the theoretical χ2 distribution) equal to or larger than the corresponding distance obtained for the Student's vector time series. A small p corresponds to a clear distinction between Student's and Gaussian vectors, as it is improbable that Gaussian vectors exhibit a distance larger than found for the Student's vectors.

Results: currencies
• 40% of the pairs of currencies compatible, over a ten-year time interval (due to non-stationary data),
• 67% of the pairs of currencies compatible, over the first five-year time interval,
• 73% of the pairs of currencies compatible, over the second five-year time interval.
However: p-values are about 30-40%: Student copula with 5 to 7 degrees of freedom cannot be rejected. In line with Breymann et al.(2003) : Student copula with six degrees of freedom of German Mark/Japanese Yen
Fraction of pairs compatible with the Gaussian copula hypothesis

Results: stocks
• 75% of the pairs of stocks compatible, over a ten-year time interval,
