   University essay from

   Author : Emil Sturesson; Anton Wennström; [2023-06-29]
   Keywords : Volatility; GARCH; EGARCH; t-GAS; HAR-RV; Realized GARCH; Volatility Forecasting; Volatility Modelling;

   Abstract : This study evaluates the out-of-sample forecasting performance of different volatility mod- els. When applied to XACT OMXS30, we use GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1), and t- GAS(1,1) to forecast squared daily returns while Realized GARCH(1,1) and HAR-RV are used to forecast Realized Variance. READ MORE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Otto Colbin; Yugam Sharma; [2023]
   Keywords : Value-at-Risk VaR ; Expected Shortfall ES ; Nonparametric estimation methods; Parametric estimation methods; Crude oil.; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Practitioners primarily utilise nonparametric methods when estimating Value-at- Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) for computing capital requirements. However, various researchers assert that there are issues with those estimates, particularly amidst periods of market turmoil. READ MORE

   Keywords : Expected Shortfall; Trading Book; Student’s t-distribution; GARCH 1; 1 ; Volatility Weighted Historical Simulation; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates methods that estimate the Expected Shortfall correctly by passing the Acerbi-Szekely (2014) backtest in both stressed and calm periods. This backtest is added to in this thesis to test against both under- and overestimation of ES. READ MORE
