It is well-known that the estimated GARCH dynamics exhibit common patterns. Starting from this fact we extend the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model by allowing for a clustering structure of the univariate GARCH parameters. The model can be estimated in two steps, the first devoted to...

In this paper, we derive upper and lower bounds on the Range Value-at-Risk of the portfolio loss when we only know its mean and variance, and its feature of unimodality. In a first step, we use some classic results on stochastic ordering to reduce this optimization problem to a parametric one,...

This paper proposes a set of models which can be used to estimate the market risk for a portfolio of crypto-currencies, and simultaneously to estimate also their credit risk using the Zero Price Probability (ZPP) model by Fantazzini et al (2008), which is a methodology to compute the...

Portfolio credit risk is often concerned with the tail distribution of the total loss, defined to be the sum of default losses incurred from a collection of individual loans made out to the obligors. The default for an individual loan occurs when the assets of a company (or individual) fall...

This paper develops a novel importance sampling algorithm for estimating the probability of large portfolio losses in the conditional independence framework. In a sense we modify the algorithm of Glasserman and Li (2005) so that it can be applied in a wider variety of models, including the t...
