market risk as a liquidity provider in exchange for earning commissions on each trade. Here we analyze the risk profile of a …

The paper studies risk mitigation associated with capital regulation, in a context when banks may choose tail risk … assets. We show that this undermines the traditional result that higher capital reduces excess risk-taking driven by limited … liability. When capital raising is costly, poorly capitalized banks may limit risk to avoid breaching the minimal capital ratio …

We propose a measure for systemic risk: CoVaR, the value at risk (VaR) of financial institutions conditional on other … institutions being in distress. We define an institution’s (marginal) contribution to systemic risk as the difference between CoVaR … systemic risk contribution. We argue for macro-prudential regulation based on the degree to which such characteristics forecast …

risky assets. Using coherent measures of risk the sum of the capital requirements of the divisions is larger than the … performance evaluation of the divisions. In this paper we use cooperative game theory and simulation to assess the possibility to … jointly satisfy three natural fairness requirements for allocating risk capital in illiquid markets: Core Compatibility, Equal …

Starting from the requirement that risk measures of financial portfolios should be based on their losses, not their … gains, we define the notion of loss-based risk measure and study the properties of this class of risk measures. We … characterize loss-based risk measures by a representation theorem and give examples of such risk measures. We then discuss the …

We propose and backtest a multivariate Value-at-Risk model for financial returns based on Tukey's g-and-h distribution …-and-h distributed residuals to three European stock indices and provide results of out-of-sample Value-at-Risk backtests. We find that …

We introduce the formalism of generalized Fourier transforms in the context of risk management. We develop a general … framework in which to efficiently compute the most popular risk measures, value-at-risk and expected shortfall (also known as … conditional value-at-risk). The only ingredient required by our approach is the knowledge of the characteristic function …
