GARCH Models for Daily Stock Returns: Impact of Estimation Frequency on Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall Forecasts

Ardia, David; Hoogerheide, Lennart - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

We analyze the impact of the estimation frequency - updating parameter estimates on a daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly basis - for commonly used GARCH models in a large-scale study, using more than twelve years (2000-2012) of daily returns for constituents of the S&P 500 index. We assess the...

Mixed Density based Copula Likelihood

Azam, Kazim; Lucas, Andre - Tinbergen Instituut - 2015

We consider a new copula method for mixed marginals of discrete and continuous random variables. Unlike the Bayesian … methods in the literature, we use maximum likelihood estimation based on closed-form copula functions. We show with a … using data from the 2013 Household Finance Survey, we show how the copula dependence between income (continuous) and …

Tail Probabilities and Partial Moments for Quadratic Forms in Multivariate Generalized Hyperbolic Random Vectors

Broda, Simon A. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

Countless test statistics can be written as quadratic forms in certain random vectors, or ratios thereof. Consequently, their distribution has received considerable attention in the literature. Except for a few special cases, no closed-form expression for the cdf exists, and one resorts to...

Bayesian Forecasting of Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall using Adaptive Importance Sampling

Hoogerheide, Lennart; Dijk, Herman K. van - Tinbergen Instituut - 2008

This discussion paper resulted in a publication in the International Journal of Forecasting (2010). Vol. 26(2), 231-247. An efficient and accurate approach is proposed for forecasting Value at Risk [VaR] and Expected Shortfall [ES] measures in a Bayesian framework. This consists of a new...

Asymmetric Realized Volatility Risk

Allen, David E.; McAleer, Michael; Scharth, Marcel - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014

In this paper we document that realized variation measures constructed from high-frequency returns reveal a large degree of volatility risk in stock and index returns, where we characterize volatility risk by the extent to which forecasting errors in realized volatility are substantive. Even...

Optimal Portfolio Allocation under a Probabilistic Risk Constraint and the Incentives for Financial Innovation

Daníelsson, Jón; Jorgensen, Bjørn N.; Vries, Casper G. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2001

We characterize the investor’s optimal portfolio allocation subject to a budget constraint and a probabilistic VaR constraint in complete markets environments with a finite number of states. The set of feasible portfolios might no longer be connected or convex, while the number of local optima...

Incentives for Effective Risk Management

Daníelsson, Jón; Jorgensen, Bjørn N.; Vries, Casper G. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2001

Under the new Capital Accord, banks choose between two different types of risk management systems, the standard or the internal rating based approach. The paper considers how a bank's preference for a risk management system is affected by the presence of supervision by bank regulators. The model...

Realized Volatility Risk

Allen, David E.; McAleer, Michael; Scharth, Marcel - Tinbergen Instituut - 2013

This discussion paper led to an article in the Journal of Risk and Financial Management (2014). Volume 7(2), pages 80-109. In this paper we document that realized variation measures constructed from highfrequency returns reveal a large degree of volatility risk in stock and index returns, where...
