The Geometric-VaR Backtesting Method
This paper develops a new test to evaluate Value at Risk (VaR) forecasts. VaR is a standard risk measure widely utilized by financial institutions and regulators, yet estimating VaR is a challenging problem, and popular VaR forecast relies on unrealistic assumptions. Hence, assessing the performance of VaR is of great importance. We propose the geometric-VaR test which utilizes the duration bet...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Power For Some Chosen VaR Backtesting Procedures: Simulation Approach
Everyone who measures the market risk using the Value at Risk (VaR) approach should test if the assumed model is correct. This procedure is called backtesting. There are many different tests available, but usually risk managers are not concerned about their power. The aim of this paper is to analyze some chosen backtesting methods focusing on the problem of power of the tests and limited data s...
متن کاملEvaluation Approaches of Value at Risk for Tehran Stock Exchange
The purpose of this study is estimation of daily Value at Risk (VaR) for total index of Tehran Stock Exchange using parametric, nonparametric and semi-parametric approaches. Conditional and unconditional coverage backtesting are used for evaluating the accuracy of calculated VaR and also to compare the performance of mentioned approaches. In most cases, based on backtesting statistics Results, ...
متن کاملToward Realistic Simulation of Intervehicle Communication: Models, Techniques and Pitfalls
The quality of Intelligent Transportation Systems strongly depends on the underlying communication protocols and techniques. In this article, we discuss the current state of the art, trends, and open problems in the area of simulation techniques used to study Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC). Complementary to testbed experiments that are often limited in scale and variety, simulation is one of...
متن کاملMultinomial var backtests: A simple implicit approach to backtesting expected shortfall
Under the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) capital charges for the trading book are based on the coherent expected shortfall (ES) risk measure, which show greater sensitivity to tail risk. In this paper it is argued that backtesting of expected shortfall or the trading book model from which it is calculated can be based on a simultaneous multinomial test of value-at-risk (VaR) exce...
