Incremental value‐at‐risk (VaR) is used to measure the effectiveness of diversification. However, the statistical properties of the estimated incremental VaR have not been fully explored. In this article, the author compares incremental VaR with other VaR‐based risk measures. The article derives the exact distribution of the estimated incremental VaR, when obtained using Monte Carlo simula...... hiện toàn bộ
In this article, the authors develop an arbitrage approach to valuing insurance‐linked securities (ILS) for non‐catastrophic events within a framework of stochastic interest rates. The prices of these transactions are driven by both an interest rate process and a non‐trivial actuarial risk process. The authors find that the duration of ILS is, in most cases, higher than the Macaulay durati...... hiện toàn bộ
Major segments of the U.S. economy are affected by weather. With the emergence of weather derivatives, exposure to weather‐related risk has evolved from being merely accepted. As a result, weather risk management strategies are increasingly being adopted in strategic decision‐making by senior management. Weather derivatives enable managers to focus on core operating risks by trading away t...... hiện toàn bộ
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present an overview of weather derivatives markets and to highlight the importance of the contributing factors for weather risk management such as weather sensitivity, weather forecast, and economic growth. In this paper, the prospective of using weather derivatives in Portugal and why...... hiện toàn bộ
This article discusses factor models for portfolio credit. In these models, correlations between individual defaults are driven by a few systematic factors. By conditioning on these factors, defaults observed within are independent. This allows a greater degree of analytical tractability in the model with a realistic dependency structure.
The drive to eliminate losses leads to greater emphasis on risk‐control measures. Argues that risk management can be transformed through the use of behaviour‐based risk management techniques.
The development of standardized measures of institution‐wide volatility exposures has so far lagged that for measures of asset price and interest‐rate exposure—largely because it is difficult to reconcile the various mathematical models used to value options. Recent mathematical results, however, can be used to construct standardized measures of volatility exposure. We consider here techni...... hiện toàn bộ
