A new class of risk measures called cash sub-additive risk measures is introduced to assess the risk of future … sub-additive risk measures can model stochastic and/or ambiguous interest rates or defaultable contingent claims …. Practical examples are presented and in such contexts cash additive risk measures cannot be used. Several representations of the …

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 study risk sharing games with quantile-based risk measures and heterogeneous beliefs, motivated by the use of … equivalent to equilibrium allocations, and the equilibrium price is unique. For Value-at-Risk (VaR) agents or mixed VaR and ES … agents, a competitive equilibrium does not exist. Our results generalize existing ones on risk sharing games with risk …

Our indicator quantifies how much is the measurement error issued by a systemic risk …This paper proposes an original approach for backtesting systemic risk measures. This backtesting approach makes it … possible to assess the systemic risk measure forecasts used to identify the financial institutions that contribute the most to …

The present article deals with intra-horizon risk in models with jumps. Our general understanding of intra-horizon risk … quantifying market risk by strictly relying on point-in-time measures cannot be deemed a satisfactory approach in general. Instead …, we argue that complementing this approach by studying measures of risk that capture the magnitude of losses potentially …
