We address the problem of risk sharing among agents using a two-parameter class of quantile-based risk measures, the so …-called Range-Value-at-Risk (RVaR), as their preferences. The family of RVaR includes the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and the Expected … Shortfall (ES), the two popular and competing regulatory risk measures, as special cases. We first establish an inequality for …

We introduce a class of quantile-based risk measures that generalize Value at Risk (VaR) and, likewise Expected … probability of occurrence. The corresponding risk measure, called Loss VaR (LVaR), determines the minimal capital injection that … and applications to capital adequacy, portfolio risk management and catastrophic risk are presented …

We study the pricing and hedging of derivative securities with uncertainty about the volatility of the underlying asset. Rather than taking all models from a prespecified class equally seriously, we penalise less plausible ones based on their "distance" to a reference local volatility model. In...

This paper shows that low risk anomalies in the CAPM and in traditional factor models arise when investors require … compensation for coskewness risk. Empirically, we find that option-implied ex-ante skewness is strongly related to ex-post residual …

Monetary risk measures classify a financial position by the minimal amount of external capital that must be added to … the position to make it acceptable.We propose a new concept: intrinsic risk measures. The definition via external capital … is avoided and only internal resources appear. An intrinsic risk measure is defined by the smallest percentage of the …

We build a macroeconomic model for Switzerland, the Euro Area, and the USA that drives the dynamics of several asset classes and the liabilities of a representative Swiss (defined-contribution) pension fund. This encompassing approach allows us to generate correlations between returns on assets...
