Abstract
⺠We model the dependence of non-life insurance risks using the Bernstein copula. ⺠Several goodness-of-fit and risk analyses are conducted. ⺠Compared to other widely used copulas the Bernstein copula provides a good fit. ⺠Best performance is observed for inhomogeneous dependence structures. ⺠Adequate modeling can increase as well as decrease risk capital requirements.
