Conditional Value at Risk as a risk measure. Exploiting the fact that portfolios whose constituents follow an mGH distribution are … univariate GH distributed, we prove some results relating to measurement and decomposition of portfolio risk, and show how to …, using Worst Case Conditional Value at Risk as a risk measure …

We study the classical geometric mean reversion process which has been used to model commodity prices by various authors in Economics and Finance. We obtain certain regularity results which guarantee positivity and the existence of a stationary distribution. More important we derive an...

Arugaslan, Cook, and Kieschnick (2004) challenge underpricing results obtained from conventional cross-sectional regression analysis on the grounds that standard methods fail to properly account for underwriter price stabilization and adequately capture variations in information asymmetries...

Analysis (LDA) on operational risk data. We compare the performance of four severity distribution estimators, three well known … and one relatively new and assess their suitability for quantitative operational risk analysis. We start with a simulation … then evaluated on a real operational loss dataset where we focus on the risk measures Value at Risk (VaR) and Tail Value at …

In risk management it is desirable to grasp the essential statistical features of a time series representing a risk … features of risk factors describing different asset classes or behaviors. This paper does not aim at being exhaustive, but … also use these models as building blocks to build more complex models, although for a number of risk management …

There are several methods to convert fuzzy or stochastic LP to conventional LP models. In this simple paper we evaluate the effectiveness of three proposed methods, using a numerical example from a pure factors portfolio.

Real option theory has remained a fringe field; practitioners believe it is not practically applicable in complex real … world environments. We show that this view is mistaken. We apply real option theory to a highly complex energy problem with … unhedgeable risk, time varying volatilities and endogenous exercise dates (non-European options). Investment decisions in the …

We use a dynamic framework and panel methodology to investigate the determinants of a time-varying corporate capital structure. Our sample comprises 706 European firms from France, Germany, Italy and the U.K. over the period from 1983 to 2002. If capital structure adjustment is costly, firms may...
