Since Value-at-Risk (VaR) disregards tail losses beyond the VaR boundary, the expected shortfall (ES), which measures … the average loss when a VaR is exceeded, and the tail-risk-of-VaR (TR), which sums the sizes of tail losses, are used to … small sample asymptotic technique to backtest ES and TR. Because the two risk measures are complementary to each other and …
