This thesis comprises four essays that explore large portfolio dynamic dependence risk related to defaults, risk management and asset allocation, international financial markets, and herding behavior. The first essay investigates the dependence between companies' defaults. We compare credit correlations implied by the prices of collateralized debt obligations with time-varying correlations estimated from equity returns and credit default swaps. We find that the correlations between default intensities from swap spreads are highly time-varying and persistent; the same finding obtains for equity returns. We also find that the correlation implied by structured products co-moves very strongly with the correlation extracted from credit spreads, ...
