Abstract: The stable tail dependence function provides a full characterisation of the extremal dependence structures. Unfortunately, the estimation of the stable tail dependence function often suffers from significant bias, whose scale relates to the Peaks-Over-Threshold (POT) second-order parameter. For this second-order parameter, this paper introduces a penalised estimator that discourages it from being too close to zero. This paper then establishes this estimator's asymptotic consistency, uses it to correct the bias in the estimation of the stable tail dependence function, demonstrates its desirable empirical properties in the estimation of the extremal dependence structures, and illustrates it with an application to liability claim data.
