TLDR
In this article, a method for making statistical inferences about the upper tail of a distribution function is presented for estimating the probabilities of future extremely large observations, where the underlying distribution function satisfies a condition which holds for all common continuous distribution functions.
Abstract
A method is presented for making statistical inferences about the upper tail of a distribution function. It is useful for estimating the probabilities of future extremely large observations. The method is applicable if the underlying distribution function satisfies a condition which holds for all common continuous distribution functions.

Extreme Correlation of International Equity Markets

TL;DR: This article showed that correlation is not related to market volatility per se but to the market trend and that correlation increases in bear markets, but not in bull markets, and they also showed that the distribution of extreme correlation for a wide class of return distributions can be derived using extreme value theory.
