This work aims to forecast (over 1, 5, and 15 years) the extremes, the expected value, and the volatility of natural disasters occurrences. To achieve this objective, we adopt a generalized two-factor square-root model linking together occurrences and volatility through stochastic correlation (Brownian motion). We use a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) to forecast the maximum number of occurrences as a measure of value at risk (VaR). The results are checked in terms of accuracy, compared versus some baseline models (i.e., the Poisson process and the extreme value model) and backtested.

Abstract
This work aims to forecast (over 1, 5, and 15 years) the extremes, the expected value, and the volatility of natural disasters occurrences. To achieve this objective, we adopt a generalized two-factor square-root model linking together occurrences and volatility through stochastic correlation (Brownian motion). We use a generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) to forecast the maximum number of occurrences as a measure of value at risk (VaR). The results are checked in terms of accuracy, compared versus some baseline models (i.e., the Poisson process and the extreme value model) and backtested.File in questo prodotto:
