Earthquake catastrophe bond pricing models (ECBPMs) employ extreme value theory (EVT) to predict severe losses, although studies on EVT’s use in ECBPMs are still rare. Therefore, this study aimed to use a mini-review approach (MRA) to examine the use of EVT and identify the gaps and weaknesses in the methods or models developed. The MRA stages include planning, search and selection, analysis, and interpretation of the results. The selection results showed five articles regarding the application of EVT in ECBPMs. Furthermore, the analysis found the following: First, the generalized extreme value (GEV) could eliminate extreme data in a period. Second, the trigger model using two parameters is better than one, but the study did not discuss the joint distribution of the two parameters. Third, the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) allows negative values. Fourth, Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) in-coupon modeling is less effective in depicting the real picture. This is because it has a constant volatility assumption and cannot describe jumps due to monetary policy. Based on these limitations, it is hoped that future studies can develop an ECBPM that reduces the moral hazard.

The issuance of multiple-event catastrophe bonds (MECBs) has the potential to increase in the next few years. This is due to the increasing trend in the frequency of global catastrophes, which makes single-event catastrophe bonds (SECBs) less relevant. However, there are obstacles to issuing MECBs since the pricing framework is still little studied. Therefore, this study aims to develop such a new pricing framework. The model uniquely involves three new variables: the trigger event correlation, interest, and inflation rates. The trigger event correlation rate was accommodated by the involvement of the copula while the interest and inflation rates were simultaneously considered using an integrated autoregressive vector stochastic model. After the model was obtained, the model was simulated on storm catastrophe data in the United States. Finally, the effect of the three variables on MECB prices was also analyzed. The analysis results show that the three variables make MECB prices more fairly than other models. This research is expected to guide special purpose vehicles to set fairer MECB prices and can also be used as a reference for investors in choosing MECBs based on the rates of trigger event correlation and the real interest they can expect.
