Title: "Generating unfavourable VaR scenarios under Solvency II with patchwork copulas"

As the central idea of the presentation, we present a general, simple patchwork construction principle for multivariate copulas, with which unfavourable VaR (i.e. Value at Risk) scenarios are possible while maintaining the given risk-rank distributions. This is particularly important for the so-called internal models or Pillar II (ORSA) under Solvency II. Since it seems unrealistic that the potentially absolute worst-case scenario will materialise in reality, "almost worst-case" scenarios as addressed in this presentation are good modelling alternatives, especially in higher dimensions. Our approach can be seen as a special case of the so-called ordinal sums, which even represent the absolute worst VaR scenario in two dimensions. The lecture will be held in German.
