One of the key components of financial risk management is risk measurement. This typically requires modeling, estimating and forecasting tail-related quantities of the asset returns' conditional distribution. Recent advances in the financial econometrics literature have developed several models...

This paper presents a backtesting exercise involving several VaR models for measuring market risk in a dynamic context. The focus is on the comparison of standard dynamic VaR models, ad hoc fat-tailed models and the dynamic Peaks over Threshold (POT) procedure for VaR estimation with different...
