Technical paper/Expected shortfall
A study of China’s financial market risks in the context of Covid-19, based on a rolling generalized autoregressive score model using the asymmetric Laplace distribution
The authors construct a risk measurement model for the financial market during the Covid-19 pandemic, using data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange for empirical analysis.
Modeling very large losses. II
This paper presents a means to estimate very large losses by supposing the event is the result of a succession of factors and estimating the probability of each factor.
Counterparty risk allocation
This paper investigates the problem of minimizing the risk of exposure to a small number of defaultable counterparties based on spectral risk measures.
Expected shortfall model based on a neural network
This paper presents a model that combines ES models based on EVT and neural networks and meets all criteria for the validity of the Basel III standard.
Central counterparty capital and nondefault losses
This paper analyses the components of central counterparty (CCP) capital requirements and makes several observations on the potential for loss absorption.
Systemic risk of the Chinese stock market based on the mobility measures of the marginal expected shortfall
This paper applies the dynamic mixture copula model method and proposes a mobility measure of the marginal expected shortfall to depict the changing systemic risk in China’s mainland stock market and Hong Kong’s stock market.
A simple and robust approach for expected shortfall estimation
This paper proposes a simple and robust expected shortfall estimation method based on the tail-based normal approximation.
The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book and fat tails
Conservative capital buffers may not be enough to protect against tail events
A sensitivity analysis of the alpha factor
In this paper, we investigate the alpha factor’s sensitivity to key model parameters under stylized portfolio assumptions in order to better understand its complex characteristics. Our analysis is based on the numerical simulation of alpha sensitivities…
Extremal risk management: ES value verification
In this paper, we refer to the axiomatic theory of risk and investigate the problem of formal verification of the expected shortfall (ES) model based on a sample ES. Recognizing the infeasibility of parametric methods, they explore the bootstrap…
Measuring expected shortfall under semi-parametric expected shortfall approaches: a case study of selected Southern European/Mediterranean countries
In this paper, the authors investigate the applicability of semi-parametric approaches for estimating expected shortfall.
Backtesting expected shortfall: a simple recipe?
In this paper, the authors introduce a new ES backtesting framework based on the duality between coherent risk measures and scale-invariant performance measures.
Static and dynamic risk capital allocations with the Euler rule
This paper studies the volatility of the Euler rule for capital allocation in static and dynamic empirical applications with a simulated history.
Forecasting value-at-risk
Alvin Stroyny and Tim Wilding build a dynamic risk framework for multi-asset global portfolios
The minimally biased backtest for ES
Acerbi and Szekely present a backtest for expected shortfall
Nonparametric versus parametric expected shortfall
In this paper, the authors use influence functions as a basic tool to study unconditional nonparametric and parametric expected shortfall (ES) estimators with regard to returns data influence, standard errors and coherence.
From log-optimal portfolio theory to risk measures: logarithmic expected shortfall
In this paper, the authors propose a modification of expected shortfall that does not treat all losses equally. We do this in order to represent the worries surrounding big drops that are typical of multiperiod investors.
The utility of Basel III rules on excessive violations of internal risk models
In this paper, the author looks at the efficacy of risk measures on energy markets and across several different stock market indexes, and calculates both the value-at-risk (VaR) and the expected shortfall (ES) on each of these data sets as well as on…
Counterparty trading limits revisited: from PFE to PFL
The potential future loss is proposed as a replacement for PFE
Back to backtesting: integrated backtesting for value-at-risk and expected shortfall in practice
This paper aims to reflect the current state of the discussion on the validation of market risk forecasts by means of backtesting.
New backtests for unconditional coverage of expected shortfall
In this paper, the authors present a new backtest for the unconditional coverage property of expected shortfall.
