  3. 2. Risk measurement of cryptocurrencies using value at risk and expected shortfall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Van Cao Thi Hong; [2022]
    Keywords : cryptocurrencies; value at risk; expected shortfall; risk measurement; parametric methods; non-parametric methods; EWMA; GARCH; EGARCH; GJRGARCH; backtesting; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky assets, therefore, it is of vital importance to find an appropriate model for risk measurement. This thesis compares three parametric and three non-parametric estimation methods to estimate the value at risk and the expected shortfall of five cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance coin (BNB), Ripple coin (XRP), and Cardano (ADA).
