Convex measures of risk and trading constraints

Föllmer, Hans; Schied, Alexander - 2001

We introduce the notion of a convex measure of risk, an extension of the concept of a coherent risk measure defined in Artzner et aL (1999), and we prove a corresponding extension of the representation theorem in terms of probability measures on the underlying space of scenarios. As a case...
