New Backtests for Unconditional Coverage of Expected Shortfall
While value-at-risk has been the standard risk measure for a long time, expected shortfall (ES) has become more and more popular in recent times, as it provides important information about tail risk. We present a new backtest for the unconditional coverage property of the ES. The test is based on the so-called cumulative violation process, and its main advantage is that the distribution is known for finite out-of-sample size. This leads to better size and power properties compared with existing tests. Moreover, we extend the test principle to a multivariate test and analyze its behavior via simulations and an application to bank returns.
期刊介绍:
This international peer-reviewed journal publishes a broad range of original research papers which aim to further develop understanding of financial risk management. As the only publication devoted exclusively to theoretical and empirical studies in financial risk management, The Journal of Risk promotes far-reaching research on the latest innovations in this field, with particular focus on the measurement, management and analysis of financial risk. The Journal of Risk is particularly interested in papers on the following topics: Risk management regulations and their implications, Risk capital allocation and risk budgeting, Efficient evaluation of risk measures under increasingly complex and realistic model assumptions, Impact of risk measurement on portfolio allocation, Theoretical development of alternative risk measures, Hedging (linear and non-linear) under alternative risk measures, Financial market model risk, Estimation of volatility and unanticipated jumps, Capital allocation.
