Abstract
This paper exploits a stochastic representation of bivariate elliptical distributions in order to obtain asymptotic results which are determined by the tail behavior of the generator. Under certain specified assumptions, we present the limiting distribution of component-wise maxima, the limiting upper copula, and a bi-variate version of the classical peaks over threshold result.
Keywords: component-wise maxima, elliptical distribution, Pickands' representation, regular variation, threshold exceedances
