Review
From the reviews:
“The book contains four parts: stochastic dependence and extremal risk, risk measures and worst case portfolios, optimal risk allocation, and optimal portfolios and extreme risk. ... the book will be definitely interesting to researchers and graduate students in the areas of insurance, financial mathematics, risk management, etc., as it gives a clear picture which research directions have been pursued and to what extent.” (Jonas Šiaulys, zbMATH, Vol. 1266, 2013)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
