Moreover, the higher-order terms are often given under the condition of existence of a moment of the distribution. In this paper, we obtain infinite series expansions for convolutions of Pareto distributions with non-integer tail indices. The Pareto random variables may have different tail indices and different scale parameters. We naturally find the same constants for the first terms as given in the previous asymptotic expansions in the case of identically distributed random variables, but we are now able to give the next additional terms. Since our series expansion is not asymptotic, it may be also used to compute the values of quantiles of the distribution of the sum as well as other risk measures such as the Tail Value at Risk. Examples of values are provided for the sum of at least five Pareto random variables and are compared to those determined via previous asymptotic expansions or via simulations.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2014-1168","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modular structure of the framework allows to accommodate for a variety of shock scenarios, methods to estimate interbank exposures and mechanisms of distress propagation. The main features are as follows. First, the framework allows to estimate and disentangle not only first-round effects (i.e. shock on external assets) and second-round effects (i.e. distress induced in the interbank network), but also third-round effects induced by possible fire sales. Second, it allows to monitor at the same time the impact of shocks on individual or groups of financial institutions as well as their vulnerability to shocks on counterparties or certain asset classes. Third, it includes estimates for loss distributions, thus combining network effects with familiar risk measures such as VaR and CVaR. Fourth, in order to perform robustness analyses and cope with incomplete data, the framework features a module for the generation of sets of networks of interbank exposures that are coherent with the total lending and borrowing of each bank. As an illustration, we carry out a stress-test exercise on a dataset of listed European banks over the years 2008–2013. We find that second-round and third-round effects dominate first-round effects, therefore suggesting that most current stress-test frameworks might lead to a severe underestimation of systemic risk.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2015-0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By the Markov regression representation (see [25]), any stochastic model for 𝐗${mathbf {X}}$ can be represented as X t k =f k (X t 1 ,...,X t k-1 ,U k )${X_{t_k}=f_k(X_{t_1},ldots ,X_{t_{k-1}},U_k)}$ , k=1,...,d${k=1,ldots ,d}$ , yielding a decomposition into a vector 𝐔:={U k } k=1,...,d ${mathbf {U}:=lbrace U_{k}rbrace _{k=1,ldots ,d}}$ of i.i.d. random variables accounting for the randomness in the model, and a function f:={f k } k=1,...,d ${f:=lbrace f_krbrace _{k=1,ldots ,d}}$ representing the economic reasoning behind. For most models, f is known explicitly and Uk may be interpreted as an exogenous risk factor affecting the return Xtk in time step k. While existing literature addresses model uncertainty by manipulating the function f, we introduce a new philosophy by distorting the source of randomness 𝐔${mathbf {U}}$ and interpret this as an analysis of the model's robustness. We impose consistency conditions for a reasonable distortion and present a suitable probability law and a stochastic representation for 𝐔${mathbf {U}}$ based on a Dirichlet prior. The resulting framework has one parameter c∈[0,∞]${cin [0,infty ]}$ tuning the severity of the imposed distortion. The universal nature of the methodology is illustrated by means of a case study comparing the effect of the distortion to different models for 𝐗${mathbf {X}}$ . As a mathematical byproduct, the consistency conditions of the suggested distortion function reveal interesting insights into the dependence structure between samples from a Dirichlet prior.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2015-0009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model allows us to recover a possible risk hierarchy. We suggest an algorithm to compute the HHC loss distribution and we compare this cdf with that computed through the CHC and LCC approaches (in the Gaussian and Archimedean limit) and also with the pure limiting approaches which are commonly used for high-dimensional problems.

The difference between the two estimates motivates a so-called “dispersion strategy”. We study the performance of this strategy on the German market and propose several profitability improvement schemes based on implied correlation (IC) forecasts. Modelling IC conceals several challenges. Firstly the number of correlation coefficients would grow with the size of the basket. Secondly, IC is not constant over maturities and strikes. Finally, IC changes over time. We reduce the dimensionality of the problem by assuming equicorrelation. The IC surface (ICS) is then approximated from the implied volatilities of stocks and the implied volatility of the basket. To analyze the dynamics of the ICS we employ a dynamic semiparametric factor model.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2014-1176","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim is to derive a filter for the underlying continuous-time Markov chain. The recursion formula for the discrete-time filter is easy to derive, however involves densities which are very hard to obtain. In this paper we derive exact formulas for the necessary densities in the case the state space of the HMM consists of two elements only. This is done by relating the underlying integrated continuous-time Markov chain to the so-called asymmetric telegraph process and by using recent results on this process. In case the state space consists of more than two elements we present three different ways to approximate the densities for the filter. The first approach is based on the continuous filter problem. The second approach is to derive a PDE for the densities and solve it numerically. The third approach is a crude discrete time approximation of the Markov chain. All three approaches are compared in a numerical study.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2015-0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw the distinction between ‘external’ and ‘internal’ risk measures and concentrate on the latter, where we observe data in real time, make predictions and observe outcomes. It is argued that evaluation of such procedures is best addressed from the point of view of probability forecasting or Dawid’s theory of ‘prequential statistics’ [12]. We introduce a concept of ‘calibration’ of a risk measure in a dynamic setting, following the precepts of Dawid’s weak and strong prequential principles, and examine its application to quantile forecasting (VaR – value at risk) and to mean estimation (applicable to CVaR – expected shortfall). The relationship between these ideas and ‘elicitability’ [24] is examined. We show in particular that VaR has special properties not shared by any other risk measure. Turning to CVaR we argue that its main deficiency is the unquantifiable tail dependence of estimators. In a final section we show that a simple data-driven feedback algorithm can produce VaR estimates on financial data that easily pass both the consistency test and a further newly-introduced statistical test for independence of a binary sequence.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2015-0007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67313888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give different characterizations of this relation establishing a link to the notions of distribution function and quantile function with respect to the given capacity. The Choquet integral is extensively used as a tool. In the second part of the paper, we give an application to a financial optimization problem whose constraints are expressed by means of the increasing convex stochastic dominance relation with respect to a capacity. The problem is solved by using, among other tools, a result established in our previous work, namely a new version of the classical upper (resp. lower) Hardy–Littlewood's inequality generalized to the case of a continuous from below concave (resp. convex) capacity.
