Abstract

The multivariate stable distributions are widely applicable as they can accommodate both skewness and heavy tails. Although one-dimensional stable distributions are well known, there are many open questions in the multivariate regime, since the tractability of the multivariate Gaussian universe, does not extend to non-Gaussian multivariate stable distributions. In this work, we provide the Laplace transform of bivariate stable distributions and its certain cut in the first quadrant. Given the lack of a closed-form likelihood function, we propose to estimate the parameters by means of Approximate Maximum Likelihood, a simulation-based method with desirable asymptotic properties. Simulation experiments and an application to truncated operational losses illustrate the applicability of the model. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
