Nonparametric Estimation of Expected Shortfall

چکیده
The paper evaluates the properties of nonparametric estimators of the expected shortfall, an increasingly popular risk measure in financial risk management. It is found that the existing kernel estimator based on a single bandwidth does not offer variance reduction, which is surprising considering that kernel smoothing reduces the variance of estimators for the value at risk and the distribution function. We reformulate the kernel estimator such that two different bandwidths are employed in the kernel smoothing for the value at risk and the shortfall itself. We demonstrate by both theoretical analysis and simulation studies that the new kernel estimator achieves a variance reduction. The paper also covers the practical issues of bandwidth selection and standard error estimation.

Weighted Nadaraya-Watson estimation of conditional expected shortfall
This paper addresses the problem of nonparametric estimation of the conditional expected shortfall (CES) which has gained popularity in financial risk management. We propose a new nonparametric estimator of the CES. The proposed estimator is defined as a conditional counterpart of the sample average estimator of the unconditional expected shortfall, where the empirical distribution function is ...

The Evaluation of Systemic Risk in the Iran Banking System by Marginal Expected Shortfall (MES) Criterion
Today, Systemic Risk is being analyzed as one of the major issues in financial institutions. Banks are one of the institutions that can be linked to systemic risk based on global experience. Therefore, in the study, we evaluate the systemic risk in the banking system of the country via the marginal expected shortfall (MES) criterion. For the purpose of the present study, 17 banks listed on the ...
متن کاملNonparametric Expectile Regression for Conditional Autoregressive Expected Shortfall Estimation
In this chapter, we estimate the Expected Shortfall (ES) in conditional autoregressive expectile models by using a nonparametric multiple expectile regression via gradient tree boosting. This approach has the advantages generated by the flexibility of not having to rely on data assumptions and avoids the drawbacks and fragilities of a restrictive estimator such as Historical Simulation. We cons...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of conditional value-at-risk and expected shortfall based on extreme value theory
Abstract. We propose nonparametric estimators for conditional value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) associated with conditional distributions of a series of returns on a financial asset. The return series and the conditioning covariates, which may include lagged returns and other exogenous variables, are assumed to be strong mixing and follow a fully nonparametric conditional location...
