Threshold Risk Measures Part 1: Finite Horizon

In this paper we introduce the threshold risk measures, a class of risk measures incompatible with the coherent risk measures. In particular, the threshold risk measures consider the risk involved in applications where being above a threshold (for minimization problems) is considered too risky and should be avoided as much as possible. In this paper we develop the threshold risk measures togeth...
