Abstract

New tests for detecting structural breaks in the tail dependence of multivariate time series using the concept of tail copulas are presented. To obtain asymptotic properties, we derive a new limit result for the sequential empirical tail copula process. Moreover, consistency of both the tests and a break-point estimator are proven. We analyze the finite sample behavior of the tests by Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, and crucial from a risk management perspective, we apply the new findings to datasets from energy and financial markets.
