Essays in dependence and optimality in large portfolios

This thesis is composed of three chapters. The first two chapters provides novel approaches for<p>modeling and estimating the dependence structure for a large portfolio of assets using rating data.<p>In both chapters a natural form of organizing a portfolio in terms of the levels of exposure to economic sectors and geographical regions, plays a key role in setting up the dependence structure.<p>The last chapter investigates weather financial strategies that exploit sector or geographical heterogeneity in the asset space are relevant in terms of portfolio optimization. This is also done in a context of a large portfolio but with data on stock returns. / Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
