چکیده

A distortion risk measure used in finance and insurance is defined as the expected value of potential loss under a scenario probability measure. In this paper, the tail distortion risk measure is introduced to assess tail risks of excess losses modeled by the right tails of loss distributions. The asymptotic linear relation between tail distortion and Value-at-Risk is derived for heavy tailed losses with the linear proportionality constant depending only on the distortion function and tail index. Various examples involving tail distortions for location, scale and shape invariant loss distribution families are also presented to illustrate the results. JEL code and keywords: G32, distortion risk measure, regular variation, tail risk, tail conditional expectation. Classification codes: IM10, IM54.

Beyond Value-at-Risk: GlueVaR Distortion Risk Measures.

We propose a new family of risk measures, called GlueVaR, within the class of distortion risk measures. Analytical closed-form expressions are shown for the most frequently used distribution functions in financial and insurance applications. The relationship between GlueVaR, value-at-risk, and tail value-at-risk is explained. Tail subadditivity is investigated and it is shown that some GlueVaR ...

Asymptotic Analysis of Multivariate Tail Conditional Expectations

Tail conditional expectations refer to the expected values of random variables conditioning on some tail events and are closely related to various coherent risk measures. In the univariate case, the tail conditional expectation is asymptotically proportional to the value-at-risk, a popular risk measure. The focus of this paper is on asymptotic relations between the multivariate tail conditional...

Asymptotic Analysis of Multivariate Coherent Risks

Multivariate coherent risks can be described as classes of portfolios consisting of extra capital reserves that are used to cover potential losses under various scenarios. Tail risk refers to the risk associated with extremal events and is often affected by extremal dependence among multivariate extremes. Multivariate tail risk, as measured by a coherent risk measure of tail conditional expecta...

Estimation of Distortion Risk Measures

The concept of coherent risk measure was introduced in Artzner et al. (1999). They listed some properties, called axioms of ‘coherence’, that any good risk measure should possess, and studied the (non-)coherence of widely-used risk measure such as Value-atRisk (VaR) and expected shortfall (also known as tail conditional expectation or tail VaR). Kusuoka (2001) introduced two additional axioms c...

Distortion Risk Measures: Coherence and Stochastic Dominance

In this paper it is proved that a concave distortion function is a necessary and sufficient condition for coherence, and a strictly concave distortion function is a necessary and sufficient condition for strict consistency with second order stochastic dominance. The results are related to current risk measures used in practice, such as value-at-risk (VaR) and the conditional tail expectation (C...
