2.4 The Normal copula<br />

Two caracteristics <strong>in</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ance: High dimensional problems (e.g. a<br />

portfolio with 1000 securities) and probabilistic properties of the<br />

models (e.g. markovian property).<br />

All the copula functions are not good candidates for f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />

application <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>dustry po<strong>in</strong>t of view.<br />

The Normal copula has not yet been extensively studied (see however<br />

Song [2000]). Nevertheless, it may be an ‘<strong>in</strong>dustrial’ copula.<br />

Remark 1 The multivariate normal distribution is very tractable. It<br />

is very easy to estimate the parameters and simulation is<br />

straightforward. Moreover, this distribution has nice properties.<br />

Is it also the case for the Normal copula<br />
