Abstract

A classical result of Slepian (1962) for the normal distribution and extended by Das Guptas et al. (1972) for elliptical distributions gives one-sided (lower orthant) comparison criteria for the distributions with respect to the (generalized) correlations. Müller and Scarsini (2000) established that the ordering conditions even characterize the stronger supermodular ordering in the normal case. In the present paper, we extend this result to elliptical distributions. We also derive a similar comparison result for the directionally convex ordering of elliptical distributions. As application, we obtain several results on risk bounds in elliptical classes of risk models under restrictions on the correlations or on the partial correlations. Furthermore, we obtain extensions and strengthening of recent results on risk bounds for various classes of partially specified risk factor models with elliptical dependence structure of the individual risks and the common risk factor. The moderate dependence assumptions on this type of models allow flexible applications and, in consequence, are relevant for improved risk bounds in comparison to the marginal based standard bounds.
