The objective of this paper is to propose a model to assess risk for banks. Its main innovation is to incorporate … endogenous interaction between banks, recognising that the actual risk to which an individual bank is exposed also depends on its … data and therefore can be implemented as a risk assessment tool for financial regulators and central banks. We address the …

assumptions. We accomplish this by relying on the plausible joint frictions of immediacy risk (excution risk) and asset …

In this paper we compare overall as well as downside risk measures with respect to the criteria of first and second … order stochastic dominance. While the downside risk measures, with the exception of tail conditional expectation, are … consistent with first order stochastic dominance, overall risk measures are not, even if we restrict ourselves to two …

frequencies, the Consumption-CAPM is still rejected by the data and requires a very high level of Relative Risk Aversion(RRA) in … order to rationalize the stock market risk premium. This result holds for a variety of data sources and samples –including …-sectional dis-persion of consumption risk relative to the cross-sectional variation of average returns …

This paper proposes an approach to estimating the relation between risk (conditional variance) and expected returns in … proxy for the volatility in estimating the risk-return relation. Third, our estimation strategy involves the Generalized …
