Expected Shortfall Factor Models: Common Tail Losses and Expected Returns
预期损失因子模型:共同尾部损失与预期收益
We develop an expected shortfall factor model (ESFM) to estimate and price common variation in the severity of lower-tail losses in large panels of asset returns. Mean factor models describe common variation in average returns, while quantile factor models describe common movements in tail thresholds. ESFM instead captures common variation in the average severity of losses below those thresholds. The model combines observed risk exposures with latent common factors. We…
