Typical value-at-risk (VAR) calculations involve the probabilities of extreme dollar losses, based on the statistical … VAR values that are adjusted for risk aversion, time preferences, and other variations in economic valuation. In the … context of a representative agent equilibrium model, we construct an estimator of the risk-aversion coefficient that is …

these rejections are in part a consequence of the presence of omitted risk factors which are associated with nonzero risk … model should partially reflect exposure to these omitted sources of systematic risk and,hence, should help explain expected … residual risk effect in the previous literature:(1) nonlinearity of the residual risk effect and (2) the inadequacy of the …

We develop a model of pandemic risk management and firm valuation. We introduce aggregate transmission shocks into an …

We … illustrate how to use the CCA approach to model and measure sectoral and national risk exposures, and analyze policies to offset … their potentially harmful effects. This new framework provides economic balance sheets for inter-linked sectors and a risk …

Calculations show that the true risk-adjusted value of unfunded guarantees in a realistic DC-MB plan equals 40 … 'basis risk' if they chose a non-standard portfolio.

In Merton (1987), idiosyncratic risk is priced in equilibrium as a consequence of incomplete diversification. We modify … results in a state-dependent idiosyncratic risk premium that is higher when average idiosyncratic volatility is low, and vice …

Among the main results is, first, that … explanatory power of the empirical model is higher for domestic lending than for international lending. Second, how liquidity risk … management across global banks can be important for liquidity risk transmission into lending. Fourth, there is substantial …
