Parametric Forecasting of Value at Risk Using Heavy Tailed Distribution

چکیده
This paper deals with modeling volatility of returns of Pliva stocks on Zagreb Stock Exchange for Value at Risk forecasting. Volatility reaction and volatility persistence are measured using asymmetric GARCH process. Croatian capital market characteristic is absence of intensive reaction on "good" information. But it is confirmed that Pliva stocks volatility on Croatian capital market are under dominant influence of "bad" information. If the data are heavy tailed, the VaR calculated using Normal assumption differs significantly from Student's tdistribution. The fact that kurtosis and degrees of freedom from Student's distribution are closely related is used in estimation procedure of GARCH model. The complete procedure of Value at Risk forecasting for Croatia is established with assumption that returns follows extreme value distribution, precisely Student's t-distribution with non-integer degrees of freedom. The optimization problem is solved by FinMetrics module of S-Plus package.

Value at Risk Estimation using the Kappa Distribution with Application to Insurance Data
The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...

We develop an observation that a simulation method introduced recently for heavy-tailed stochastic simulation, namely hazard-rate twisting, is equivalent to doing exponential twisting on a transformed version of the heavy-tailed random-variable; the transforming function is the hazard function. Using this approach, the paper develops efficient methods for computing portfolio value-at-risk (VAR)...

In this paper, we introduce a new risk measure, the so-called Conditional Tail Moment. It is de-fined as the moment of order a ≥ 0 of the loss distribution above the upper α-quantile whereα ∈ (0, 1). Estimating the Conditional Tail Moment permits to estimate all risk measuresbased on conditional moments such as Conditional Tail Expectation, Conditional Value-at-Risk or Condi...
