Risk Measures
摘要
The central risk measure from a regulatory perspective is the Value at Risk, as it determines the risk capital, i.e. the amount of capital that an institution must reserve for rare adverse events. In the course of this unit, other risk measures will be discussed such as Conditional Value at Risk and Lower Partial Moments. In addition, these risk measures are applied in Extreme Value Theory. Furthermore, the bond- and credit-specific risk measure Duration is presented.
