We consider joint estimation of conditional Value-at-Risk (VaR) at several levels, in the framework of general conditional heteroskedastic models. The volatility is estimated by Quasi-Maximum Likelihood (QML) in a first step, and the residuals are used to estimate the innovations quantiles in a...

This article reviews two leading measures of financial risk and an emerging alternative. Embraced by the Basel accords, value-at-risk and expected shortfall are the leading measures of financial risk. Expectiles offset the weaknesses of value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall. Indeed,...
