基于分段损失分布法和Copula的银行操作风险集成度量

多个风险单元的集成度量是银行操作风险管理的关键步骤之一。立足于操作风险的“厚尾”、“截断”性,从分段损失分布法的视角出发,探讨操作风险集成度量的模式和数值方法。首先,引入两阶段损失分布法来拟合单个风险单元边际损失分布,用双截尾分布代替传统的完整分布来刻画“高频低损”损失数据的双截断特性,利用POT模型捕获“低频高损”事件的厚尾特性。再次,基于分段建模思路,对传统度量过程中边际分布为单一、完整分布的Copula模型进行了扩展,研究边际分布为分段分布、截尾分布条件下使用Copula函数集成度量操作风险的框架和步骤,并设计了Monte Carlo模拟算法。最后,以实证分析的形式验证所构建模型。通过对中国商业银行416个操作风险损失数据的实证分析,结果表明分段分布、截尾分布能对单个风险单元边际分布有更好的拟合效果,能减小由于分布选择不当而引发的模型风险。分段度量视角下Copula函数的引入能灵活处理多个操作风险单元间的相依结构,使风险度量结果更为合理。

Large deviations of realized volatility

This paper studies large and moderate deviation properties of a realized volatility statistic of high frequency financial data. We establish a large deviation principle for the realized volatility when the number of high frequency observations in a fixed time interval increases to infinity. Our large deviation result can be used to evaluate tail probabilities of the realized volatility. We also derive a moderate deviation rate function for a standardized realized volatility statistic. The moderate deviation result is useful for assessing the validity of normal approximations based on the central limit theorem. In particular, it clarifies that there exists a trade-off between the accuracy of the normal approximations and the path regularity of an underlying volatility process. Our large and moderate deviation results complement the existing asymptotic theory on high frequency data. In addition, the paper contributes to the literature of large deviation theory in that the theory is extended to a high frequency data environment.     

Tail Risk of Multivariate Regular Variation

Tail risk refers to the risk associated with extreme values and is often affected by extremal dependence among multivariate extremes. Multivariate tail risk, as measured by a coherent risk measure of tail conditional expectation, is analyzed for multivariate regularly varying distributions. Asymptotic expressions for tail risk are established in terms of the intensity measure that characterizes multivariate regular variation. Tractable bounds for tail risk are derived in terms of the tail dependence function that describes extremal dependence. Various examples involving Archimedean copulas are presented to illustrate the results and quality of the bounds.

Conditional tail risk measures for the skewed generalised hyperbolic family

This paper deals with the estimation of loss severity distributions arising from historical data on univariate and multivariate losses. We present an innovative theoretical framework where a closed-form expression for the tail conditional expectation (TCE) is derived for the skewed generalised hyperbolic (GH) family of distributions. The skewed GH family is especially suitable for equity losses because it allows to capture the asymmetry in the distribution of losses that tends to have a heavy right tail. As opposed to the widely used Value-at-Risk, TCE is a coherent risk measure, which takes into account the expected loss in the tail of the distribution. Our theoretical TCE results are verified for different distributions from the skewed GH family including its special cases: Student-t, variance gamma, normal inverse gaussian and hyperbolic distributions. The GH family and its special cases turn out to provide excellent fit to univariate and multivariate data on equity losses. The TCE risk measure computed for the skewed family of GH distributions provides a conservative estimator of risk, addressing the main challenge faced by financial companies on how to reliably quantify the risk arising from the loss distribution. We extend our analysis to the multivariate framework when modelling portfolios of losses, allowing the multivariate GH distribution to capture the combination of correlated risks and demonstrate how the TCE of the portfolio can be decomposed into individual components, representing individual risks in the aggregate (portfolio) loss.     

基于鞍点逼近的投资组合极端风险贡献度测度

在当今金融市场资产价格高波动的背景下,度量投资组合中各资产对总体风险的风险贡献度对探析投资组合风险波动不定的深层次原因有重要意义。关于风险贡献度的测算,目前运用较广泛的是历史数据法,其主要适用于存在大量数据样本且持续期较短的情况。特别地,极端情况下的风险贡献度估计主要由处于分布尾部的少量观测值决定,因此历史数据法估计的准确性此时较难保证,为此,本文对鞍点逼近模型优化并考察上述情形。通过对中国股市进行实证分析发现,与传统历史数据法相比,鞍点逼近模型呈现下列优点:投资组合分布函数简洁、风险贡献度计算效率和准确性较高,压力测试表明该方法具有较好的稳健性。因此该方法有望对投资组合的风险预警与防范起到决策支持作用。

Modelling losses and locating the tail with the Pareto Positive Stable distribution

This paper focuses on modelling the severity distribution. We directly model the small, moderate and large losses with the Pareto Positive Stable (PPS) distribution and thus it is not necessary to fix a threshold for the tail behaviour. Estimation with the method of moments is straightforward. Properties, graphical tests and expressions for value-at risk and tail value-at-risk are presented. Furthermore, we show that the PPS distribution can be used to construct a statistical test for the Pareto distribution and to determine the threshold for the Pareto shape if required. An application to loss data is presented. We conclude that the PPS distribution can perform better than commonly used distributions when modelling a single loss distribution for moderate and large losses. This approach avoids the pitfalls of cut-off selection and it is very simple to implement for quantitative risk analysis.

How does innovation''''s tail risk determine marginal tail risk of a stationary financial time series?

We discuss the relationship between the marginal tail risk probability and theinnovation's tail risk probability for some stationary financial time series models. We firstgive the main results on the tail behavior of a class of infinite weighted sums of randomvariables with heavy-tailed probabilities. And then, the main results are applied to threeimportant types of time series models; infinite order moving averages, the simple bilineartime series and the solutions of stochastic difference equations. The explicit formulasare given to describe how the marginal tail probabilities come from the innovation's tailprobabilities for these time series. Our results can be applied to the tail estimation of timeseries and are useful for risk analysis in finance.     

On the Lagrangian Katz family of distributions as a claim frequency model

The Panjer (Katz) family of distributions is defined by a particular first-order recursion which is built on the basis of two parameters. It is known to characterize the Poisson, negative binomial and binomial distributions. In insurance, its main usefulness is to yield a simple recursive algorithm for the aggregate claims distribution. The present paper is concerned with the more general Lagrangian Katz family of distributions. That family satisfies an extended recursion which now depends on three parameters. To begin with, this recursion is derived through a certain first-crossing problem and two applications in risk theory are described. The distributions covered by the recursion are then identified as the generalized Poisson, generalized negative binomial and binomial distributions. A few other properties of the family are pointed out, including the index of dispersion, an extended Panjer algorithm for compound sums and the asymptotic tail behaviour. Finally, the relevance of the family is illustrated with several data sets on the frequency of car accidents.

Tail behaviour of credit loss distributions for general latent factor models

Using a limiting approach to portfolio credit risk, we obtain analytic expressions for the tail behavior of credit losses. To capture the co‐movements in defaults over time, we assume that defaults are triggered by a general, possibly non‐linear, factor model involving both systematic and idiosyncratic risk factors. The model encompasses default mechanisms in popular models of portfolio credit risk, such as CreditMetrics and CreditRisk⁺. We show how the tail characteristics of portfolio credit losses depend directly upon the factor model's functional form and the tail properties of the model's risk factors. In many cases the credit loss distribution has a polynomial (rather than exponential) tail. This feature is robust to changes in tail characteristics of the underlying risk factors. Finally, we show that the interaction between portfolio quality and credit loss tail behavior is strikingly different between the CreditMetrics and CreditRisk⁺ approach to modeling portfolio credit risk.     

Tail dependence of the Gaussian copula revisited

Tail dependence refers to clustering of extreme events. In the context of financial risk management, the clustering of high-severity risks has a devastating effect on the well-being of firms and is thus of pivotal importance in risk analysis.When it comes to quantifying the extent of tail dependence, it is generally agreed that measures of tail dependence must be independent of the marginal distributions of the risks but rather solely copula-dependent. Indeed, all classical measures of tail dependence are such, but they investigate the amount of tail dependence along the main diagonal of copulas, which has often little in common with the concentration of extremes in the copulas’ domain of definition.In this paper we urge that the classical measures of tail dependence may underestimate the level of tail dependence in copulas. For the Gaussian copula, however, we prove that the classical measures are maximal. The implication of the result is two-fold: On the one hand, it means that in the Gaussian case, the (weak) measures of tail dependence that have been reported and used are of utmost prudence, which must be a reassuring news for practitioners. On the other hand, it further encourages substitution of the Gaussian copula with other copulas that are more tail dependent.
