Adaptive Polar Sampling with an Application to a Bayes Measure of Value-at-Risk

Bauwens, Luc; Bos, Charles S.; Dijk, Herman K. van - Tinbergen Instituut - 1999

Adaptive Polar Sampling (APS) is proposed as a Markov chain Monte Carlomethod for Bayesian analysis of models with ill-behaved posteriordistributions. In order to sample efficiently from such a distribution,a location-scale transformation and a transformation to polarcoordinates are used. After...

Portfolio Diversification Effects of Downside Risk

Hyung, Namwon; Vries, Casper G. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005

Risk managers use portfolios to diversify away the unpriced risk of individual securities. In this article we compare the benefits of portfolio diversification for downside risk in case returns are normally distributed with the case of fat-tailed distributed returns. The downside risk of a...
