Financial risk control has always been challenging and becomes now an even harder problem as joint extreme events occur more frequently. For decision makers and government regulators, it is therefore important to obtain accurate information on the interdependency of risk factors. Given a...

We investigate the performance of Value at Risk (VaR) models at measuring risk for WTI oil one-month futures returns. VaR models are used to calculate commodity market risk at extreme quantiles: 0.95, 0.99, 0.995 and 0.999 for both long and short trading positions. Widespread VaR models do not...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of VaR models at measuring risk for WTI oil one-month futures returns. Risk models, ranging from industry standards such as RiskMetrics and historical simulation to conditional extreme value model, are used to calculate commodity market...

This paper evaluates the effect of energy trading networks on the volatility of coal, oil, natural gas, and electricity. This research conducts a longitudinal analysis using a time series of static coal trading networks to generate a dynamic trading network and uses the component causality index...

The globalisation on financial markets and the development of financial derivatives has increased not only chances but also potential risk within the banking industry. Especially market risk has gained major significance since market price variation of interest rates, stocks or exchange rates...

Weekly, quarterly and yearly risk measures are crucial for risk reporting according to Basel III and Solvency II. For the respective data frequencies, the authors show in a simulation and back-test study that available data series are not sufficient in order to estimate Value at Risk and...

The aim of this paper is to prove the phenotypic convergence of cryptocurrencies, in the sense that individual cryptocurrencies respond to similar selection pressures by developing similar characteristics. In order to retrieve the cryptocurrencies phenotype, we treat cryptocurrencies as...

Motivated by the recent changes made to the regulatory environment that governs how banks calculate minimum capital requirements Liu and Stentoft (2020) seek to answer the question of how regulation affect banks' choice of risk-management models, whether it incentivizes them to use correctly...
