金融风险管理中VaR度量的光滑估计效率

本文研究了金融风险管理理论中风险价值(VaR)的非参数核光滑估计和经验估计的效率问题.对非独立的时间序列损失/收益样本,在均方误差(MSE)准则的意义下引入亏量的概念,亏量越大表明估计效率越低.并利用亏量对VaR模型的核光滑估计和基于样本分位数的经验估计进行了比较,在理论上证明了VaR模型的核光滑估计优于经验估计.同时,通过计算机模拟证实了理论获得的结论.本文还对国内沪深两市上的证券投资基金进行了实证分析,计算了样本基金的VaR风险度量的经验估计和核光滑估计,并计算了样本基金基于周收益率和VaR估计的风险调整收益(RAROC)值,以此对样本基金的业绩做出了有用的评价.

VaR测度下的风险对冲策略研究

本文分别在正态分布和任意分布设定下讨论最小在险价值(VaR)的风险对冲问题。在正态分布设定下,本文深入讨论最小方差对冲比率和最小VaR对冲比率的性质,并得出最小VaR对冲策略下组合收益率的均值和方差大于最小方差策略下组合收益率的均值和方差。在任意分布设定下,本文构建一种新的VaR对冲模型,该模型引入非参数核估计方法对VaR进行估计,然后基于VaR核估计量建立风险对冲问题,实现风险估计与风险对冲同步进行。实证结果非常稳健地表明,不做任何分布假设下的核估计法得到的风险对冲效果优于最小方差对冲策略和正态分布设定下的最小VaR对冲策略。

Rate of convergence of a convolution-type estimator of the marginal density of a MA(1) process

In this paper moving-average processes with no parametric assumption on the error distribution are considered. A new convolution-type estimator of the marginal density of a MA(1) is presented. This estimator is closely related to some previous ones used to estimate the integrated squared density and has a structure similar to the ordinary kernel density estimator. For second-order kernels, the rate of convergence of this new estimator is investigated and the rate of the optimal bandwidth obtained. Under limit conditions on the smoothing parameter the convolution-type estimator is proved to be -consistent, which contrasts with the asymptotic behavior of the ordinary kernel density estimator, that is only -consistent.

Asymptotic normality of Powell’s kernel estimator

We establish asymptotic normality of Powell’s kernel estimator for the asymptotic covariance matrix of the quantile regression estimator for both i.i.d. and weakly dependent data. As an application, we derive the optimal bandwidth that minimizes the approximate mean squared error of the kernel estimator. We also derive the corresponding results to censored quantile regression.     

Estimation of a quantile in some nonstandard cases

A necessary condition for the asymptotic normality of the sample quantile estimator isf(Q(p))=F(Q(p))>0, whereQ(p) is thep-th quantile of the distribution functionF(x). In this paper, we estimate a quantile by a kernel quantile estimator when this condition is violated. We have shown that the kernel quantile estimator is asymptotically normal in some nonstandard cases. The optimal convergence rate of the mean squared error for the kernel estimator is obtained with respect to the asymptotically optimal bandwidth. A law of the iterated logarithm is also established.This research was partially supported by the new faculty award from the University of Oregon.     

Optimal kernel estimation of spot volatility of stochastic differential equations

A unified framework to optimally select the bandwidth and kernel function of spot volatility kernel estimators is put forward. The proposed models include not only classical Brownian motion driven dynamics but also volatility processes that are driven by long-memory fractional Brownian motions or other Gaussian processes. We characterize the leading order terms of the mean squared error, which in turn enables us to determine an explicit formula for the leading term of the optimal bandwidth. Central limit theorems for the estimation error are also obtained. A feasible plug-in type bandwidth selection procedure is then proposed, for which, as a sub-problem, a new estimator of the volatility of volatility is developed. The optimal selection of the kernel function is also investigated. For Brownian Motion type volatilities, the optimal kernel turns out to be an exponential function, while, for fractional Brownian motion type volatilities, easily implementable numerical results to compute the optimal kernels are devised. Simulation studies further confirm the good performance of the proposed methods.
