  1. 1. 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).

  3. 2. On the Value at Risk Forecasting of the Market Risk for Large Portfolios based on Dynamic Factor Models with Multivariate GARCH Specifications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Axel Eurenius Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Dynamic factor model; Value at Risk; Forecasting; Conditional Correlation GARCH.;

    Abstract : Market risk is the risk of capital loss due to unexpected changes in market prices. One risk measure used to estimate market risk is Value at Risk (VaR). The common historical simulation methodology of VaR forecasting usually does not capture the time-varying volatilities associated with financial data. READ MORE

  4. 3. Forecasting Value-at-Risk using GARCH(1,1) and Neural Networks as Volatility Estimation Methods – A Comparative Study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Abstract : Northvolt was founded in 2015 with the goal to create the world's greenest battery. Today, Northvolt is mainly funded by investors and have suppliers all over the world, which does not come risk free. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating VaR and ES for commodities - both conventionally and with neural networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : David Fang; Måns Eile; [2020]
    Keywords : Value-at-Risk; Expected Shortfall; Commodities; GARCH 1; 1 ; ANN; LSTM; Volatility forecasting; VWHS; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : As commodities are becoming more popular and accessible assets for speculative and hedging purposes, the limited research regarding risk management for said asset-class justifies further contribution to the deficient output. Many previous studies have highlighted the extraordinary high volatility, with non-linear and clustering characteristics associated with commodities. READ MORE

  6. 5. An Empirical Study: Expected Shortfall Estimation Methods for a Bank's Trading Book

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Laura Emina Ludolphy; Emilia Johansson; [2020]
    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
