In this paper, we provide a stable limit theorem for the asymptotic distribution of the sample average value-at-risk when the distribution of the underlying random variable X describing portfolio returns is heavy-tailed. We illustrate the convergence rate in the limit theorem assuming that X has...

We argue that the practise of valuing the portfolio is important for the calculation of the VaR. In particular, the seller (buyer) of an asset does not face horizontal demand (supply) curves. We propose a partially new approach for incorporating this fact in the VaR and in an empirical...

The catastrophic failures of risk management systems in 2008 bring to the forefront the need for accurate and flexible estimators of market risk. Despite advances in the theory and practice of evaluating risk, existing measures are notoriously poor predictors of loss in high-quantile events. To...

This article analyzes the tail behavior of energy price risk using a multivariate approach, in which the exposure to energy markets is given by a portfolio of oil, gas, coal, and electricity. To accommodate various dependence and tail decay patterns, this study models energy returns using...

Following the Loss Distributional Approach (LDA), this article develops two procedures for simulation of an annual loss distribution for modeling of Operational Risk. First, we provide an overview of the typical compound-process LDA used widely in Operational Risk modeling, before expanding upon...

Covered bonds are a specific example of senior secured debt. If the issuer of the bonds defaults the proceeds of the assets in the cover pool are used for their debt service. If in this situation the cover pool proceeds do not suffice for the debt service, the creditors of the bonds have...
