Financial Risk Measurement for Financial Risk Management∗

Current practice largely follows restrictive approaches to market risk measurement, such as historical simulation or RiskMetrics. In contrast, we propose flexible methods that exploit recent developments in financial econometrics and are likely to produce more accurate risk assessments, treating both portfoliolevel and asset-level analysis.

Ever since the publication in Nature, 1998 and the noble prize awarded to Drs. Andrew Fire and Craig Mellow in 2006, for their discovery of dsRNA based silencing of specific genes through RNAi (RNA interference), the technology has fired the imagination of researche...
