1. 1. Forecasting Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall: A comparison of non- and parametric methods for crude oil amidst extreme volatility

   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.

   Author : Christoffer Titov; [2022]
   Keywords : GARCH; Extreme Value Theory; Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Exchange Rate Volatility; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the accuracy of Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall forecasts of various GARCH-type models based on five currency exchange rate pairs. The GARCH models are employed under different conditional distributional assumptions, and extended using the two-stage Extreme Value Theory (EVT) approach of McNeil and Frey (2000). READ MORE
