Value at Risk When Daily Changes in Market Variables Are Not Normally Distributed

چکیده
This paper proposes a new model for calculating VaR where the user is free to choose any probability distributions for daily changes in the market variables and parameters of the probability distributions are subject to updating schemes such as GARCH. Transformations of the probability distributions are assumed to be multivariate normal. The model is appealing in that the calculation of VaR is relatively straightforward and can make use of the RiskMetrics or a similar database. We test a version of the model using nine years of daily data on 12 different exchange rates. When the first half of the data is used to estimate the model’s parameters we find that it provides a good prediction of the distribution of daily changes in the second half of the data.

The Impact of Large Changes in Asset Prices on Intra-Market Correlations in the Domestic and International Markets
We consider the impact of “large” changes in asset prices on intra-market correlations in domestic and international markets. Assuming normally distributed asset returns, we show that the absolute magnitude of the correlation, conditional on a change greater than or equal to a given absolute size of one of the variables, is monotonically increasing in the magnitude of that absolute change. Empi...
