The paper explores non-convex risk measures and their characterizations.

Develops a statistical framework for coherent risk estimation.

The paper establishes a connection between different risk measures and their risk contributions.

We study a space of coherent risk measures M_phi obtained as certain expansions of coherent elementary basis measures. In this space, the concept of ``Risk Aversion Function'' phi naturally arises as the spectral representation of each risk measure in a space of functions of confidence level probabilities. We give nece…

In this paper we present a theoretical framework for studying coherent acceptability indices in a dynamic setup. We study dynamic coherent acceptability indices and dynamic coherent risk measures, and we establish a duality between them. We derive a representation theorem for dynamic coherent risk measures in terms of …

Submodularity is studied for convex risk measures, including Expected Shortfall.

Establishes a link between risk measures and uniform integrability in finance.

Develops non-standard analysis for coherent risk estimation.

We give a complete characterization of both comonotone and not comonotone coherent risk measures in the discrete finite probability space, where each outcome is equally likely. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that characterizes \textit{and} distinguishes comonotone and not comonotone coherent risk …

Paper introduces DCoVaR for aggregate risk models, outperforming existing methods.

In this paper we introduce a new coherent cumulative risk measure on $\mathcal{R}_L^p$, the space of càdlàg processes having Laplace transform. This new coherent risk measure turns out to be tractable enough within a class of models where the aggregate claims is driven by a spectrally positive Lévy process. Moreover, w…

We propose a pricing technique based on coherent risk measures, which enables one to get finer price intervals than in the No Good Deals pricing. The main idea consists in splitting a liability into several parts and selling these parts to different agents. The technique is closely connected with the convolution of coh…

We propose a new procedure for the risk measurement of large portfolios. It employs the following objects as the building blocks: - coherent risk measures introduced by Artzner, Delbaen, Eber, and Heath; - factor risk measures introduced in this paper, which assess the risks driven by particular factors like the price …

It is shown that the axioms for coherent risk measures imply that whenever there is an asset in a portfolio that dominates the others in a given sample (which happens with finite probability even for large samples), then this portfolio cannot be optimized under any coherent measure on that sample, and the risk measure …

We study coherent risk measures which are time-consistent for multiple filtrations. We show that a coherent risk measure is time-consistent for every filtration if and only if it is one of four main types. Furthermore, if the risk measure is strictly monotone it is linear, and if the reference probability space is not …

Paper introduces new risk measures that unify two existing types.

Paper characterizes star-shaped risk measures and their properties.

New concept of partial law invariance connects decision theory and financial risk management.

The paper has 2 main goals: 1. We propose a variant of the CAPM based on coherent risk. 2. In addition to the real-world measure and the risk-neutral measure, we propose the third one: the extreme measure. The introduction of this measure provides a powerful tool for investigating the relation between the first two mea…

Financial institutions have to allocate so-called "economic capital" in order to guarantee solvency to their clients and counter parties. Mathematically speaking, any methodology of allocating capital is a "risk measure", i.e. a function mapping random variables to the real numbers. Nowadays "value-at-risk", which is d…

This paper is concerned with the MAXVAR risk measure on L^2 space. We present an elementary and direct proof of its coherency and averseness. Based on the observation that the MAXVAR measure is a continuous convex combination of the CVaR measure, we provide an explicit formula for the risk envelope of MAXVAR.

Expected Shortfall (ES) in several variants has been proposed as remedy for the defi-ciencies of Value-at-Risk (VaR) which in general is not a coherent risk measure. In fact, most definitions of ES lead to the same results when applied to continuous loss distributions. Differences may appear when the underlying loss di…

A new framework assesses financial and ESG risks for sustainable investing.

Unified framework for risk evaluation under uncertainty.

Develops a new method for risk diversification using dynamic risk measures.

Study dynamic risk measures and performance indices using distortion functions.

The risk of a financial position is usually summarized by a risk measure. As this risk measure has to be estimated from historical data, it is important to be able to verify and compare competing estimation procedures. In statistical decision theory, risk measures for which such verification and comparison is possible,…

Several authors have recently developed risk-sensitive policy gradient methods that augment the standard expected cost minimization problem with a measure of variability in cost. These studies have focused on specific risk-measures, such as the variance or conditional value at risk (CVaR). In this work, we extend the p…

The paper addresses how to complete incomplete risk markets by iteratively enhancing welfare.

In this work we study the Lebesgue property for convex risk measures on the space of bounded càdlàg random processes ($\mathcal{R}^\infty$). Lebesgue property has been defined for one period convex risk measures in \cite{Jo} and earlier had been studied in \cite{De} for coherent risk measures. We introduce and study th…

Study on efficiency in economies with risk-averse agents, finding Pareto optima.

The paper develops robust risk measures for uncertain loss positions.

This paper compares two different frameworks recently introduced in the literature for measuring risk in a multi-period setting. The first corresponds to applying a single coherent risk measure to the cumulative future costs, while the second involves applying a composition of one-step coherent risk mappings. We summar…

New financial model revises risk measure under NA condition.

Study on portfolio selection and risk arbitrage in financial markets.

The paper analyzes risk measures and optimal reserve allocation strategies.

We use the theory of coherent measures to look at the problem of surplus sharing in an insurance business. The surplus share of an insured is calculated by the surplus premium in the contract. The theory of coherent risk measures and the resulting capital allocation gives a way to divide the surplus between the insured…

Paper characterizes monotonic mean-deviation risk measures.

This paper deals with applications of coherent risk measures to pricing in incomplete markets. Namely, we study the No Good Deals pricing technique based on coherent risk. Two forms of this technique are presented: one defines a good deal as a trade with negative risk; the other one defines a good deal as a trade with …

The paper characterizes risk measures with the Fatou property in function spaces.

Equivalent characterizations of multiportfolio time consistency are deduced for closed convex and coherent set-valued risk measures on $L^p(Ω,\mathcal F, P; R^d)$ with image space in the power set of $L^p(Ω,\mathcal F_t,P;R^d)$. In the convex case, multiportfolio time consistency is equivalent to a cocycle condition on…

Paper examines risk measure expansions under FGM dependence, improving accuracy at extreme levels.

In this work, we extend some quantities introduced in "Optimization of conditional value-at-risk" of R.T Rockafellar and S. Uryasev to the case where the proximity between real numbers is measured by using a Bregman divergence. This leads to the definition of the Bregman superquantile. Axioms of a coherent measure of r…

The paper mentioned in the title introduces the entropic value at risk. I give some extra comments and using the general theory make a relation with some commonotone risk measures.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a risk measure that extends the Gini-type measures of risk and variability, the Extended Gini Shortfall, by taking risk aversion into consideration. Our risk measure is coherent and catches variability, an important concept for risk management. The analysis is made under the Choque…

In this paper we present a theoretical framework for determining dynamic ask and bid prices of derivatives using the theory of dynamic coherent acceptability indices in discrete time. We prove a version of the First Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing using the dynamic coherent risk measures. We introduce the dynamic …
