Measuring Risk When Expected Losses Are Unbounded
This paper proposes a new method to introduce coherent risk measures for risks with infinite expectation, such as those characterized by some Pareto distributions. Extensions of the conditional value at risk, the weighted conditional value at risk and other examples are given. Actuarial applications are analyzed, such as extensions of the expected value premium principle when expected losses ar...
متن کاملPandemic risk: how large are the expected losses?
There is an unmet need for greater investment in preparedness against major epidemics and pandemics. The arguments in favour of such investment have been largely based on estimates of the losses in national incomes that might occur as the result of a major epidemic or pandemic. Recently, we extended the estimate to include the valuation of the lives lost as a result of pandemic-related increase...
متن کاملMeasuring the Risk of Large Losses
Risk management is an important component of the investment process. It requires quantitative measures of risk that provide a metric for the comparison of financial positions. In this expository note we give an overview of risk measures. In particular, we contrast different risk measures with respect to their sensitivity to potentially large losses due to market wide shocks. The industry standa...
متن کاملFast Rates with Unbounded Losses
We present new excess risk bounds for randomized and deterministic estimators for general unbounded loss functions including log loss and squared loss. Our bounds are expressed in terms of the information complexity and hold under the recently introduced v-central condition, allowing for high-probability bounds, and its weakening, the v-pseudoprobability convexity condition, allowing for bounds...
متن کاملPortfolio optimization when expected stock returns are determined by exposure to risk
It is widely recognized that when classical optimal strategies are applied with parameters estimated from data, the resulting portfolio weights are remarkably volatile and unstable over time. The predominant explanation for this is the difficulty of estimating expected returns accurately. In this paper, we modify the n stock Black–Scholes model by introducing a new parametrization of the drift ...
