In this paper, we develop modeling tools to forecast Value-at-Risk and volatility with investment horizons of less than one day. We quantify the market risk based on the study at a 30-min time horizon using modified GARCH models. The evaluation of intraday market risk can be useful to market...

Value at Risk (VaR) has been used as an important tool to measure the market risk under normal market. Usually the VaR of log returns is calculated by assuming a normal distribution. However, log returns are frequently found not normally distributed. This paper proposes the estimation approach...

The purpose of the study is to estimate tail-related risk measures using extreme value theory (EVT) in the Indian stock market. The study employs a two stage approach of conditional EVT originally proposed by McNeil and Frey (2000) to estimate dynamic Value at Risk (VaR) and expected shortfall...

We proposed a method to estimate extreme conditional quantiles by combining quantile GARCH model of Xiao and Koenker (2009) and extreme value theory (EVT) approach. We first estimate the latent volatility process using the information of intermediate quantiles. We then apply EVT to the tail...

Background: The concept of value at risk gives estimation of the maximum loss of financial position at a given time for a given probability. The motivation for this analysis lies in the desire to devote necessary attention to risks in Montenegro, and to approach to quantifying and managing risk...

In this paper, we focus on three daily exchange rate returns dynamics. Indeed, we have assessed five GARCH-class models under three alternative distributions. Our findings confirm that the skewed Student-t FIAPARCH model performs very well. Then, we have computed short and long Value-at-Risk and...

This paper investigates Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall for CAC 40, S&P 500, Wheat and Crude Oil indexes during the 2008 financial crisis. We show an underestimation of the risk of loss for the unconditional VaR models as compared with the conditional models. This underestimation is...

En este documento continuamos en la discusión del VaR (Value at Risk) como medida de riesgo de mercado de los activos financieros. Ilustramos de manera práctica y detallada la estimación del VaR empleando la estimación de la varianza abandonando el supuesto de volatilidad constante....

The empirical evidence from financial markets suggests that the pattern of response of market volatility to shocks is highly dependent on the magnitude of shocks themselves. Markov-Switching GARCH (MS-GARCH) models are a valuable tool for modelling state dependence in the dynamics of the...

El concepto de Value at Risk (valor del riesgo) se ha popularizado hace ya casi una década. Este artículo describe el significado de este concepto, y presenta aplicaciones sobre carteras de activos de bonos, acciones, forwards de tasa de interés y de tipos de cambio, y swaps. Se introducen...
