چکیده

Spectral risk measures are attractive risk measures as they allow the user to obtain risk measures that reflect their subjective risk-aversion. This paper examines spectral risk measures based on an exponential utility function, and finds that these risk measures have nice intuitive properties. It also discusses how they can be estimated using numerical quadrature methods, and how confidence intervals for them can be estimated using a parametric bootstrap. Illustrative results suggest that estimated exponential spectral risk measures obtained using such methods are quite precise in the presence of normally distributed losses.

DISCUSSION PAPER PI-0609 Mortality – Dependent Financial Risk Measures

This paper uses a recently developed two-factor stochastic mortality model to estimate financial risk measures for four illustrative types of mortality-dependent financial position: investments in zero-coupon longevity bonds; investments in longevity bonds that pay annual survivor-dependent coupons; and two examples of an insurer’s annuity book that are each hedged by a longevity bond, one base...

Sl2(r), Exponential Herglotz Representations, and Spectral Averaging

We revisit the concept of spectral averaging and point out its origin in connection with one-parameter subgroups of SL2(R) and the corresponding Möbius transformations. In particular, we identify exponential Herglotz representations as the basic ingredient for the absolute continuity of average spectral measures with respect to Lebesgue measure and the associated spectral shift function as the ...

Presenting a model for Multiple-step-ahead-Forecasting of volatility and Conditional Value at Risk in fossil energy markets

Fossil energy markets have always been known as strategic and important markets. They have a significant impact on the macro economy and financial markets of the world. The nature of these markets are accompanied by sudden shocks and volatility in the prices. Therefore, they must be controlled and forecasted by using appropriate tools. This paper adopts the Generalized Auto Regressive Condition...

Spectral Risk Measure Minimization in Hazardous Materials Transportation

Due to catastrophic consequences of accidents by hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation, a risk-averse approach for routing is appropriate for risk mitigation. In this paper, we consider spectral risk measures, which are coherent and more general than existing approaches such as conditional value-at-risk. In spectral risk measures, one can define the spectrum function precisely to reflect ...

On scaling in relation to singular spectra

This paper relates uniform α-Hölder continuity, or α-dimensionality, of spectral measures in an arbitrary interval to the Fourier transform of the measure. This is used to show that scaling exponents of exponential sums obtained from time series give local upper bounds on the degree of Hölder continuity of the power spectrum of the series. The results have applications to generalized random wal...
