Motivation 3/18
Dependence between insurance claims processes
A single event may give rise to claims in multiple insurance riskprocesses due to dependence between types of claims or classesof business.
Such dependence has potential implications for pricing, reserving,solvency, and capital allocation of an insurance company.
Some standard approaches in the literature include (1) commonshock models, and (2) distributional copulas, applied to aggregateclaims/claim counts.
Lévy copulas straddles the advantages of these approaches. It isTime-consistent;Coherent modelling of dependence in frequency separate todependence in severity;Parsimonious;Make full use of the available data;Enables a "bottom-up" approach to model building.

Sklar’s Theorem for Lévy copulas
A Lévy copula C couples the marginal tail integrals and the joint tailintegral so that
C(U1(x1),U2(x2)) = U(x1, x2)
For the marginal compound Poisson processes Si(t) (i = 1,2)with Poisson parameter λi and jump size survival function F i(x),the tail integral Ui(x) is given by
Ui(x) = λiF i(x).
The joint tail integral measures jumps which occur simultaneouslyand is given by
U(x1, x2) = λ‖F‖(x1, x2).

Pure Common Shock Lévy copula
The Pure Common Shock (PCS) Lévy copula is given by
C(u1,u2) =δ(u1 ∧ λ1)(u2 ∧ λ2) + [u1 − δλ2(u1 ∧ λ1)]I{u2=∞}+ [u2 − δλ1(u2 ∧ λ2)]I{u1=∞},
for 0 ≤ δ ≤ min(
1λ1,
1λ2
).
where λ1 and λ2 are the Poisson parameters for the bivariatecompound Poisson process (when used in that context), and where δis the parameter which will determine the intensity of common jumps.
Leads to a bivariate compound Poisson process with dependencein frequency onlyUnique and common jump sizes are all independent andidentically distributed within the different processes

Archimedean models
Tankov (2003) shows that for some strictly decreasing and convexfunction φ,
C(u1,u2) = φ−1 (φ(u1) + φ(u2))
defines a bivariate Archimedean Lévy copula.(this can easily be extended to the multivariate case)
Example:The generator φ(u) = u−δ yields the Clayton Lévy copula
Cδ(u1,u2) =(
u−δ1 + u−δ2
)− 1δ.
The Clayton Lévy copula has unique properties that do not extend toother Lévy copulas in general.Bregman and Klüppelberg (2005); Böcker and Klüppelberg (2008); Esmaeili and Klüppelberg (2010a,b); Tankov (2003); Cont and Tankov (2004); Kallsen and Tankov (2006); Böcker and Klüppelberg (2010); Biagini and Ulmer (2009); Barndorff-Nielsen and

The Lévy copula density
is defined as
c(u1,u2) =∂2C(u1,u2)∂u1∂u2
, where ui = Ui(xi), i = 1,2.
It is useful to compare Lévy copulas:Its shape indicates the relative prevalence of common jumps atdifferent sizes in each component.It reflects the dependence in frequency, as the volume under thedensity on [0, λ1]× [0, λ2] is the expected number of commonjumps per unit time.
In what follows, consider a bivariate compound Poisson process withλ1 = 100, λ2 = 100 and a Lévy copula parameter such that λ‖ = 60.

Description of the data
We use data provided by SUVA, a Swiss worker’s compensationcompany incorporated under public law.
The dataset consists of a random sample of 5% of claims from theconstruction sector for accidents incurred in 1999 (developed asat 2003).
It features two classes of claims: 2249 medical claims and 1099daily allowance claims.
1089 claims are common to both classes.
Compound Poisson processes S1(t) and S2(t), with dependencecharacterised by a Lévy copula, are fit to the SUVA dataset.
We use the Gumbel and Normal distribution for the log of claimsizes in the two classes.

Comparing the fit of tail integrals
We can compare the theoretical tail integrals of unique and commonjumps for each class with the observed number of jumps above size x .
This provides a global idea of the goodness-of-fit, as it considers bothfrequency (initial value) and severity (shape).
