DOI: 10.1002/met.1839
Abstract: Risk modellers in the insurance industry use catastrophe models to estimate the distribution of possible damage from natural catastrophes. The output from catastrophe models is often adjusted to create alternative risk scenarios. These adjustments are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.frl.2019.05.016
Abstract: Abstract We examine whether catastrophe bonds can serve as a hedge or a safe haven for global stock, bond, real estate, commodity, private equity, and infrastructure markets. Our findings indicate that catastrophe bonds are a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ssci.2016.08.026
Abstract: Catastrophe theory can describe a continuous process that is undergoing abrupt changes. A dynamic process can be considered a cusp catastrophe if it has the following five qualities: bimodality, sudden transitions, hysteresis, inaccessibility, and divergence.… read more here.
