This paper minimizes the risk of Brent oil in a multivariate portfolio, with three risk-minimizing goals: variance, parametric value-at-risk (VaR), and semiparametric value-at-risk. Brent oil is combined with five emerging ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) stock indexes and five...

The availability of high-frequency trading data and developments in computing technology make it possible to evaluate Intraday Value-at-Risk (IVaR), a useful risk management tool for investors and regulators. In this paper, we propose a new model to evaluate and predict the IVaR for stocks based...

We investigate a new family of distributionally robust optimization problem under marginal and copula ambiguity with applications to portfolio optimization problems. The proposed model considers the ambiguity set of portfolio return in which the marginal distributions and their copula are close...

Estimating the market risk is conditioned by the fat tail of the distribution of returns. But the tail index depends on the threshold of this distribution fat tail. We propose a methodology based on the decomposition of the series into positive outliers, Gaussian central part and negative...

This paper studies dynamic programming for quantile preference models, in which the agent maximizes the stream of the future τ-quantile utilities, for τ ∈ (0,1). We suggest numerical methods, based on value function iterations, for solving the quantile recursive dynamic programming, and...

In this study, we respond to the criticism that the value-at-risk (VaR) measure fails during financial crises and is only applicable during periods without asset price bubbles. We propose a new dating mechanism that is based on the work of Phillips (2015) to date-stamp the origination and...

Modeling futures market risk simultaneously influenced by macro low-frequency information and daily risk factors is a valuable challenge. We propose a new general framework for it based on the flexible GARCH-MIDAS model. It uses a skewed t distribution to describe the asymmetry of long and short...
