Model Risk of Expected Shortfall

چکیده
In this paper we study the model risk of Expected Shortfall (ES), extending the results of Boucher et al. (2014) on model risk of Value-at-Risk (VaR). We propose a correction formula for ES based on passing three backtests. Our results show that for the DJIA index, the smallest corrections are required for the ES estimates built using GARCH models. Furthermore, the 2.5% ES requires smaller corrections for model risk than the 1% VaR, which advocates the replacement of VaR with ES as recommended by the Basel Committee. Also, if the model risk of VaR is taken into account, then the correction made to ES estimates reduces by 50% on average.

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 کاملOn the Measurement of Economic Tail Risk
This paper attempts to provide a decision-theoretic foundation for the measurement of economic tail risk, which is not only closely related to utility theory but also relevant to statistical model uncertainty. The main result is that the only tail risk measure that satisfies a set of economic axioms for the Choquet expected utility and the statistical property of elicitability (i.e. there exist...
متن کاملRobustness of shortfall risk minimising strategies in the binomial model
In this paper we study the dependence on the loss function of the strategy which minimises the expected shortfall risk when dealing with a financial contingent claim in the particular situation of a binomial model. After having characterised the optimal strategies in the particular cases when the loss function is concave, linear or strictly convex, we analyse how optimal strategies change when ...
متن کاملestimation of value - at - risk and expected shortfall based on nonlinear models of return dynamics and Extreme Value Theory
We propose an estimation procedure for value at risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (TailVaR) for conditional distributions of a time series of returns on a ̄nancial asset. Our approach combines a local polynomial estimator of conditional mean and volatility functions in a conditional heterocedastic autoregressive nonlinear (CHARN) model with Extreme Value Theory for estimating quantiles of the c...
متن کاملVolatility Risk for Regime Switching Models
Regime switching models have proven to be well-suited for capturing the time series behavior of many financial variables. In particular, they have become a popular framework for pricing equity-linked insurance products. The success of these models demonstrates that realistic modeling of financial time series must allow for random changes in volatility. In the context of valuation of contingent ...
