Abstract:
The present report gives a guiding thread through my research activity since I obtained my PhD. Chapter 1 describes my research interests and summarizes the major achievements of my research projects. These projects concentrate around three main themes of interest. The first one is concerned with constrained and robust estimation in boundary regression models, with applications in production econometrics. The second theme focuses on extreme value theory and tail risk handling, with applications in actuarial science, finance and environment. The third theme of interest deals with the mass transport problem for optimal location-allocation models. The remainder of the manuscript is organized in two chapters corresponding to my major current research topics. Chapter 2 presents some selected contributions to nonparametric estimation under shape constraints, especially for the study of frontier models. Chapter 3 describes my recent work on extremal quantile regression and tail risk handling via asymmetric least squares estimation.
