This paper introduces an alternate measure of idiosyncratic risk leveraged from the decomposition method to further … eliminate the residual systematic risk inherent in the factor asset pricing model. Combining both complementary techniques … contributes to a more comprehensive firm-level idiosyncratic risk that is crucial in both portfolio diversification and alpha …

Financial risk measurement is a challenging task because both the types of risk and their measurement techniques evolve … quickly. This book collects a number of novel contributions for the measurement of financial risk, which addresses partially … explored risks or risk takers in a wide variety of empirical contexts. …

In this paper we formulate the Risk Management Control problem in the interest rate area as a constrained stochastic … for a specific interest rate portfolio. The recent financial crisis showed that risk management of derivatives portfolios … especially in the interest rate market is crucial for the stability of the financial system.

For example, small firms earn … higher return than big firms only if they have higher default risk and value stocks earn higher returns than growth stocks if … their default risk is high. In this paper we use a more advanced compound option pricing model for the computation of …

The results indicate that, except for Tether …, the analyzed cryptocurrencies’ returns exhibited similar patterns of uncertainty and risk. Levels of uncertainty were … close to the maximum values, but high uncertainty is not always associated with high risk. During the pandemic crisis …

This paper examines a simple basis risk model based on correlated geometric Brownian motions. We apply quadratic … criteria to minimize basis risk and hedge in an optimal manner.
