, if the past volatility is low, the historical computation of the risk measure underestimates the future risk, while in … periods of high volatility, the risk measure overestimates the risk.Moreover, using a simple GARCH (1,1) model, we conclude … that this pro-cyclical effect is related to the clustering of volatility. We argue that this has important consequences for …

We propose a decomposition to distinguish between Knightian uncertainty (ambiguity) and risk, where the first measures the uncertainty about the probability distribution generating the data, while the second measures uncertainty about the odds of the outcomes when the probability distribution is...

Investors have increasing interests in sophisticated yet transparent analytic tools to handle model uncertainty, tail risk and market dynamics. This paper demonstrates how macroeconomic factor models, based on Bayesian model averaging (BMA), can help address the challenges in some specific...

We construct measures of uncertainty and its dispersion exploiting the heterogeneity of a large set of model predictions. The approach is forward-looking, can be computed in real-time, and can be applied at any frequency. We illustrate the methodology with expected shortfall predictions of...

Weekly, quarterly and yearly risk measures are crucial for risk reporting according to Basel III and Solvency II. For the respective data frequencies, the authors show in a simulation and back-test study that available data series are not sufficient in order to estimate Value at Risk and...
