In this paper, we generalize the parametric Delta-VaR method from portfolios with normally distributed risk factors to portfolios with elliptically distributed ones. We treat both expected shortfall and the Value-at-Risk of such portfolios. Special attention is given to the particular case of a...

The particular subject of this paper, is to give an explicit formulas that will permit to obtain the linear VaR or Linear ES, when the joint risk factors of the Linear portfolios, changes with mixture of t-Student distributions. Note that, since one shortcoming of the multivariate t-...

In this paper, we propose an explicit estimation of Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for Linear Portfolios when the risk factors change with a conditional convex mixture of generalized Laplace distributions with a time-varying kurtosis. We therefore introduce the dynamics...

Capital account liberalization and exchange rate regime choice, what scope for flexibility in Tunisia? The adoption by Tunisia of structural reforms of its economy in a context of gradual opening since 1986, had allowed the instauration in January 1993 of the convertibility of its current...

The recent debates over discriminatory versus uniform-price auctions in the UK and elsewhere have revealed an incomplete understanding of the limitations of some popular auction models when applied to real-world electricity markets. This has led certain regulatory authorities to prefer...

In a Bayesian game players play an unknown game. Before the game starts some players may receive a signal regarding the specific game actually played. Typically, information structures that determine different signals, induce different equilibrium payoffs.In zero-sum games the equilibrium payoff...

This paper characterizes interim efficient mechanisms for public good production and cost allocation in a two-type environment with risk neutral, quasi-linear preferences and fixed size projects, where the distribution of the private good, as well as the public goods decision, affects social...

We study the issue of project choice when a risk-averse agent must choose whether to invest in two projects of the same type (focus) or of different types (diversification). Projects of the same type are subject to common type-specific shocks. Hence focusing is more risky within each period, but...
