Measures of downside risk
The paper characterizes a family of downside risk measures. They depend on a target value and a parameter reflecting the attitude towards downside risk. The indicators are probability weighted −order means of possible shortfalls. They form a subclass of the measures intro¬duced by Stone (1973) and are related to the measures proposed by Fishburn (1977). The axiomatization is based on some prope...
متن کاملDecreasing downside risk aversion and background risk
In this paper, we show that risk vulnerability can be associatedwith the concept of downside risk aversion (DRA) and an assumption about its behavior, namely that it is decreasing inwealth. Specifically, decreasing downside risk aversion in the Arrow–Pratt and Ross senses are respectively necessary and sufficient for a zero-mean background risk to raise the aversion to other independent risks. ...
متن کاملAllocative Downside Risk Aversion
Traditionally, downside risk aversion is the study of the placement of a pure risk (a secondary risk) on either the upside or the downside of a primary two-state risk. When the decision maker prefers to have the secondary risk placed on the upside rather than the downside of the primary lottery, he is said to display downside risk aversion. The literature on the intensity of downside risk avers...
متن کاملDownside Risk and the Momentum Effect
Stocks with greater downside risk, which is measured by higher correlations conditional on downside moves of the market, have higher returns. After controlling for the market beta, the size effect and the book-to-market effect, the average rate of return on stocks with the greatest downside risk exceeds the average rate of return on stocks with the least downside risk by 6.55% per annum. Downsi...
متن کاملRobust Discrete Optimization and Downside Risk Measures
We propose methods for robust discrete optimization in which the objective function has cost components that are subject to independent and bounded perturbations. Motivated by risk management practice, we approximate the problem of optimization of VaR, a widely used downside risk measure by introducing four approximating models that origininate in robust optimization. We show that all four mode...
