Quantile-based modeling of scale dynamics in financial returns for Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall forecasting
基于分位数的金融收益尺度动态建模与 VaR、ES 预测
We introduce a semiparametric approach for forecasting Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) by modeling the conditional scale of financial returns, defined as the difference between two specified quantiles, via restricted quantile regression. Focusing on downside risk, VaR is derived from the left-tail quantile of rescaled returns, and ES is approximated by averaging quantiles below the VaR level. The method delivers robust, distribution-free estimates of extreme…
