An axiomatic approach to capital allocation
نویسنده
چکیده
Capital allocation techniques are of central importance in portfolio management and risk-based performance measurement. In this paper we propose an axiom system for capital allocation and analyze its satisfiability and completeness: it is shown that for a given risk measure ρ there exists a capital allocation Λρ which satisfies the main axioms if and only if ρ is sub-additive and positively homogeneous. Furthermore, it is proved that the axiom system uniquely specifies Λρ. We apply the axiomatization to the most popular risk measures in the finance industry in order to derive explicit capital allocation formulae for these measures.

An Analysis the Effect of Capital Taxation on Allocation of Resources: A Dynamic Equilibrium Model Approach
Abstract T he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. Taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. This pape...
متن کاملFuzzy transferable-utility games: a weighted allocation and related results
By considering the supreme-utilities among fuzzy sets and the weights among participants simultaneously, we introduce the supreme-weighted value on fuzzy transferable-utility games. Further, we provide some equivalent relations to characterize the family of all solutions that admit a potential on weights. We also propose the dividend approach to provide alternative viewpoint for the potential a...

The allocation problem stems from the diversification effect observed in risk measurements of financial portfolios: the sum of the “risks” of many portfolios is larger than the “risk” of the sum of the portfolios. The allocation problem is to apportion this diversification advantage to the portfolios in a fair manner, yielding, for each portfolio, a risk appraisal that accounts for diversificat...

متن کاملRisk capital allocation and cooperative pricing of insurance liabilities
The Aumann–Shapley [Values of Non-atomic Games, Princeton University Press, Princeton] value, originating in cooperative game theory, is used for the allocation of risk capital to portfolios of pooled liabilities, as proposed by Denault [Coherent allocation of risk capital, J. Risk 4 (1) (2001) 1]. We obtain an explicit formula for the Aumann–Shapley value, when the risk measure is given by a d...
