Portfolio optimization with quantile-based risk measures
In this thesis we analyze Portfolio Optimization risk-reward theory, a generalization of the mean-variance theory, in the cases where the risk measures are quantile-based (such as the Value at Risk (V aR) and the shortfall). We show, using multicriteria theory arguments, that if the measure of risk …

An examination of liquidity risk and liquidity risk measures
Liquidity risk represents a vacuum of rigour in the otherwise well-researched area of risk management. In both practice and theory most of finance is silent regarding its scope and effect. This is principally due to a lack of consensus regarding its definition and measurement. Current liquidity …

The Generalized Hyperbolic Model: Estimation, Financial Derivatives, and Risk Measures
Finanzmathematische Modelle sind in den 90ern sowohl von der <br>Mathematik her deutlich weiterentwickelt, als auch verstärkt in <br>Finanzinstitutionenen angewandt worden. Hierbei geht der Trend dahin, <br>die in Standardansätzen verwandte Brownsche Bewegung durch <br>realistischere Prozesse, die …

INCORPORATING CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECTIONS INTO RISK MEASURES OF INDEX-BASED INSURANCE
… model projections to estimate the changing risks of temperature index-based insurance products defined for a series of locations in California. This region is a major agricultural producer for the US and the world. The climate model projections are an ensemble of six regional climate model …

An examination of bond rating, beta and value-at-risk as financial risk measures.
… findings. Additionally, a company’s relative risk is also gauged by the relative movement of its stock price in the market (beta). A bond rating downgrade indicates that a company has become riskier relative to its past or its industry, which could lead to a change in the market perception of …

Monte Carlo methods for the estimation of value-at-risk and related risk measures
… Monte Carlo for the estimation of Value-at-Risk and Expected-Tail-Loss. The algorithms are designed to take advantage of multiprocessing computer architecture by performing computational tasks in parallel. Through numerical experiments we show that our algorithms can improve efficiency in …

An Examination of the Effect of Disclosures Concerning Unfunded Pension Benefits on Market Risk Measures
… ERISA on investors' perceptions of the financial risk of firms sponsoring defined benefit pension plans. This study was undertaken to determine (1) if firms subject to the mandates of ERISA experienced shifts in systematic risk subsequent to the passage of ERISA; (2) if unfunded pension benefit …

The Performance Of Alternative Interest Rate Risk Measures And Immunization Strategies Under A Heath-Jarrow-Morton Framework
… the term structure and managing interest rate risk. Yet risk management strategies in the form of immunization portfolios using duration, convexity, and M-square are still widely used in bond portfolio management today. This study addresses the question of how traditional risk measures and …

Efficient estimation of coherent risk measures for risk-averse optimization problems governed by partial differential equations with random inputs
… methods for the efficient estimation of risk measures of quantities of interest in the context of optimization of partial differential equations (PDEs) with random inputs. Risk measures of the quantities of interest arise as objective functions or as constraints in the PDE-constrained …

Risk and robust optimization
… develops and explores the connections between risk theory and robust optimization. Specifically, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between a class of risk measures known as coherent risk measures and uncertainty sets in robust optimization. An important consequence of this is …

Application of GARCH Type Models in Forecasting Value at Risk
Dynamic risk management requires the risk measures to adapt to information at different times, such that this dynamic framework takes into account the time consistency of risk measures interrelated at different times. The value-at-risk (VaR) is one of the most well-known downside risk measures due …

Study of the Accounting Classification of Convertible Securities: A Market Analysis

Contributions to solvency risk measurement
The thesis focuses on risk measures used to calculate solvency capital requirements. It consists of three independent papers. The first paper (Chapter 2) investigates time-consistency, the relation that should hold across risk measurements of the same financial position at different time points. …

Essays in financial economics
… work with Tetsuya Kaji, we study how Value-at- Risk (VaR) constraint affects the amount of information that price conveys in an economy with asymmetric information. We first show that VaR constraint is different from others (e.g. borrowing and short-sale constraints) in that VaR constraint is …
