We propose a non-symmetric copula to model the evolution of electricity and gas prices by a bivariate non-Gaussian autoregressive process. We identify the marginal dynamics as driven by normal inverse Gaussian processes, estimating them from a series of observed UK electricity and gas spot data....

Determining the contributions of sub-portfolios or single exposures to portfolio-wide economic capital for credit risk is an important risk measurement task. Often, economic capital is measured as the Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the portfolio loss distribution. For many of the credit portfolio risk...

We have developed a regime switching framework to compute the Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall measures. Although Value at Risk as a risk measure has been criticized by some researchers for lack of subadditivity, it is still a central tool in banking regulations and internal risk management...

This paper focuses on the liquidity of electronic stock markets applying a sequential estimation approach of models for volume duration with increasing threshold values. A modified ACD model with a Box-Tukey transformation and a flexible generalized beta distribution is proposed to capture the...
