This paper presents the first methodological proposal of estimation of the VaR. Our approach is dynamic and calibrated to market extreme scenarios, incorporating the need of regulators and financial institutions in more sensitive risk measures. We also propose a simple backtesting methodology by...

liquidity risk measures and bank failures using a model that differentiates between idiosyncratic and systemic liquidity risks …. We find that while both the NSFR and the LCR have limited effects on bank failures, the systemic liquidity risk is a … major contributor to bank failures in 2009 and 2010. This finding suggests that an effective framework of liquidity risk …

Regulatory capital for trading book positions includes two components that cover different risks but apply to the same portfolio, one for market risk and one for credit risk. Similar approaches are common in banks’ internal models for economic capital. Although it is known that joint market...

Choosing a proper external risk measure is of great regulatory importance, as exemplified in the Basel II and Basel III Accord which use Value-at-Risk (VaR) with scenario analysis as the risk measures for setting capital requirements. We argue a good external risk measure should be robust with...

We examine the effects of the recently introduced regulatory leverage ratio, which aims to backstop existing risk-weighted capital requirements, on banks' balance sheets. We observe on average a deleveraging process, while banks simultaneously increase their risk-weighted assets. Having less...

We introduce the definition of set-valued capital allocation rule, in the context of set- valued risk measures. In analogy to some well known methods for the scalar case based on the idea of marginal contribution and hence on the notion of gradient and sub-gradient of a risk measure, and under...

We introduce a class of quantile-based risk measures that generalize Value at Risk (VaR) and, likewise Expected Shortfall (ES), take into account both the frequency and the severity of losses. Under VaR a single confidence level is assigned regardless of the size of potential losses. We allow...

Market participants use leveraged derivatives to gain access to equity market exposure through broker banks. Leverage and interconnectedness via overlapping portfolios of dealer banks can amplify adverse market movements, potentially causing sizeable losses. I propose a model, based on granular...
