Robust preferences and convex measures of risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove robust representation theorems for monetary measures of risk in a situation of uncertainty, where no probability measure is given a priori. They are closely related to a robust extension of the Savage representation of preferences on a space of financial positions which is due to Gilboa and Schmeidler. We discuss the problem of computing the monetary measure of risk induced by the subjective loss functional which appears in the robust Savage representation.

Risk measures and robust optimization problems
These lecture notes give a survey on recent developments in the theory of risk measures. The first part outlines the general representation theory of risk measures in a static one-period setting. In particular, it provides structure theorems for law-invariant risk measures. Examples include Value at Risk, Average Value at Risk, distortion risk measures, and risk measures arising from robust pre...
متن کاملRobust representation of convex risk measures by probability measures
Artzner, Delbaen, Eber and Heath ([1]) initialized a new direction to assess risks of financial positions by an axiomatic approach. It relies fundamentally on the concept of risk measures, which are functionals on sets of financial positions satisfying some basic properties. The convex risk measures are exactly those ones which guarantee that diversification does not increase the risk. From the...
متن کاملEntropy Coherent and Entropy Convex Measures of Risk
We introduce two subclasses of convex measures of risk, referred to as entropy coherent and entropy convex measures of risk. Entropy coherent and entropy convex measures of risk are special cases of φ-coherent and φ-convex measures of risk. Contrary to the classical use of coherent and convex measures of risk, which for a given probabilistic model entails evaluating a financial position by cons...
متن کاملCertainty equivalent measures of risk
We study a framework for constructing coherent and convex measures of risk that is inspired by infimal convolution operator, and which is shown to constitute a new general representation of these classes of risk functions. We then discuss how this scheme may be effectively applied to obtain a class of certainty equivalent measures of risk that can directly incorporate preferences of a rational ...
متن کاملRisk Measures on Orlicz Hearts
Coherent, convex and monetary risk measures were introduced in a setup where uncertain outcomes are modelled by bounded random variables. In this paper, we study such risk measures on Orlicz hearts. This includes coherent, convex and monetary risk measures on L-spaces for 1 ≤ p < ∞ and covers a wide range of interesting examples. Moreover, it allows for an elegant duality theory. We prove that ...
