Abstract
A flexible way to incorporate heterogeneous tail-dependency into dependency modeling based on a recently proposed modification of the t-copula is presented and applied to a realistic credit portfolio. The heterogeneous t-copula is assumed for the underlying multivariate factor model and it is shown that the capital allocation will change significantly once heterogeneity is introduced.
