The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) (2013) recently proposed shifting the quantitative risk metrics … system from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to Expected Shortfall (ES). The BCBS (2013) noted that - a number of weaknesses have been … identified with using VaR for determining regulatory capital requirements, including its inability to capture tail risk - (p. 3 …

the insurance sector. The downside risk of insurers is explicitly modelled by common and idiosyncratic risk factors. Since … reinsurance is important for the capacity of insurers, we measure risk dependence among European insurers and reinsurers. The … results point to a relatively low insurance sector wide risk. Dependence among insurers is higher than among reinsurers. …

This paper presents a new axiomatic characterization of risk measures that are additive for independent random … variables. In contrast to previous work, we include an axiom that guarantees monotonicity of the risk measure. Furthermore, the …. The risk measure characterized can be regarded as a mixed exponential premium. …
