Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we discuss the problem of calculating the primary risk measures in the variance-gamma model. A portfolio of investments in a one-period setting is considered. It is supposed that the investment returns are dependent on each other. In terms of the variance-gamma model, we assume that there are relations in both groups of the normal random variables and the gamma stochastic volatilities. The value at risk, the expected shortfall and the entropic monetary risk measures are discussed. The obtained analytical expressions are based on values of hypergeometric functions.
期刊介绍:
Statistics & Risk Modeling (STRM) aims at covering modern methods of statistics and probabilistic modeling, and their applications to risk management in finance, insurance and related areas. The journal also welcomes articles related to nonparametric statistical methods and stochastic processes. Papers on innovative applications of statistical modeling and inference in risk management are also encouraged. Topics Statistical analysis for models in finance and insurance Credit-, market- and operational risk models Models for systemic risk Risk management Nonparametric statistical inference Statistical analysis of stochastic processes Stochastics in finance and insurance Decision making under uncertainty.
