Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is a technique that provides approximate solutions to a broad range of mathematical problems. A drawback of the method is its high computational cost, especially in a high-dimensional setting. Estimating the Tail Value-at-Risk for large portfolios or pricing basket...

In this work, three distributions are proposed (Pareto, Lognormal and Dagum) to model the income of Mexican population, by using the Bayesian approach. It was found that the Dagum model was the one that best describes the data. The posterior distributions of the quantities of interest were...

estimation of the volatility in the market plays a key role in quantifying market risk exposure correctly. This paper presents … time-varying volatility. In this paper, the estimation of conditional volatility is applied to Value at Risk measurement …. Univariate as well as multivariate concepts are presented for the estimation of the conditional volatility. …

The sample mean is one of the most natural estimators of the population mean based on independent identically distributed sample. However, if some control variate is available, it is known that the control variate method reduces the variance of the sample mean. The control variate method often...

Market risk management is one of the key factors to success in managing financial institutions. Underestimated risk can have desastrous consequences for individual companies and even whole economies, not least as could be seen during the recent crises. Overestimated risk, on the other side, may...

This paper studies the sequential sampling scheme as a solution to the problem of aliasing, where the sampling interval is restricted to a minimum allowable value. Sequential sampling is analyzed and it is proved that when the sampling ratio is an integral number, the associated spectral...

Insurance and reinsurance live and die from the diversification benefits or lack of it in their risk portfolio. The new solvency regulations allow companies to include them in their computation of risk-based capital (RBC). The question is how to really evaluate those benefits. To compute the...

The econometric literature of high frequency data usually relies on moment estimators which are derived from assuming local constancy of volatility and related quantities. We here show that this first order approximation is not always valid if used naively. We find that such approximations...
