On the Economic Costs of Value at Risk Forecasts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We specify a class of non-linear and non-Gaussian models for which we estimate and forecast the conditional distributions with daily frequency. We use these forecasts to calculate VaR measures for three different equity markets (US, GB and Japan). These forecasts are evaluated on the basis of different statistical performance measures as well as on the basis of their economic costs that go along with the forecasted capital requirements. The results indicate that different performance measures generate different rankings of the models even within one financial market. We also find that for the three markets the improvement in the forecast by non-linear models over linear ones is negligible, while non-gaussian models significantly dominate the gaussian models. JEL Classification: C32, C45, C52

Forecasting Crude Oil prices Volatility and Value at Risk: Single and Switching Regime GARCH Models
Forecasting crude oil price volatility is an important issues in risk management. The historical course of oil price volatility indicates the existence of a cluster pattern. Therefore, GARCH models are used to model and more accurately predict oil price fluctuations. The purpose of this study is to identify the best GARCH model with the best performance in different time horizons. To achieve th...
متن کاملEvaluating Interest Rate Covariance Models within a Value-at-Risk Framework
We find that covariance matrix forecasts for an international interest rate portfolio generated by a model that incorporates interest-rate level volatility effects perform best with respect to statistical loss functions. However, within a value-at-risk (VaR) framework, the relative performance of the covariance matrix forecasts depends greatly on the VaR distributional assumption. Simple foreca...

متن کاملEstimating real-time predictive hydrological uncertainty
Flood risk can be reduced by means of flood forecasting, warning and response systems (FFWRS). These systems include a forecasting subsystem which is imperfect, meaning that inherent uncertainties in hydrological forecasts may result in false alarms and missed events. This forecasting uncertainty decreases the potential reduction of flood risk, but is seldom accounted for in estimates of the be...
متن کاملEvaluation the Effect of Financial and Non-financial Variables on the Economic Value added of Iranian Banks
Objective: The economic value added of banks is a new approach to assessing the performance of banks that, while not having accounting problems in profit and loss statements, can predict the financial health of banks. Unlike developed countries, the most important measure of financial performance in Iranian banks is net profit, but modern financial theory seeks to maximize value rather than max...
