چکیده

A two-sided Weibull is developed to model the conditional financial return distribution, for the purpose of forecasting Value at Risk (VaR) and conditional VaR. A range of conditional return distributions are combined with four volatility specifications to forecast tail risk in four international markets, two exchange rates and one individual asset series, over a four year forecast period that includes the recent global financial crisis. The two-sided Weibull performs at least as well as other distributions for VaR forecasting, but performs most favourably for conditional Value at Risk forecasting, prior to as well as during and after the recent crisis.

A stability property of Weibull tail-distributions

We exhibit a new stability property of Weibull tail-distributions. It is shown that the power of a random variable with a Weibull tail-distribution still has a Weibull tail-distribution and the associated Weibull tail-coefficient is exhibited. Weibull tail-distributions are defined through their distribution function by:

Value at Risk Estimation using the Kappa Distribution with Application to Insurance Data

The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...

The Stock Returns Volatility based on the GARCH (1,1) Model: The Superiority of the Truncated Standard Normal Distribution in Forecasting Volatility

I n this paper, we specify that the GARCH(1,1) model has strong forecasting volatility and its usage under the truncated standard normal distribution (TSND) is more suitable than when it is under the normal and student-t distributions. On the contrary, no comparison was tried between the forecasting performance of volatility of the daily return series using the multi-step ahead forec...

Negative Weibull tail-distributions

We propose a new family of distributions referred to as Weibull taildistributions. This family is designed to model left tails with exponential behavior. The exponent can be estimated using inference procedures adapted from the Weibull tail-distributions literature. Let us define a negative Weibull tail-distribution through its distribution function by: F (x) = exp {
