预测性 CoVaR 回归中对持久性稳健的结构突变检测AI 解读

Forecasting risk (as measured by quantiles) and systemic risk (as measured by Adrian and Brunnermeiers's (2016) CoVaR) is important in economics and finance. However, past research has shown that predictive relationships may be unstable over time. Therefore, this paper develops structural break tests in predictive quantile and CoVaR regressions. These tests can detect changes in the forecasting power of covariates, and are based on the principle of self-normalization. We…

系统性风险的在线监测AI 解读

Following several episodes of financial market turmoil in recent decades, changes in systemic risk have drawn growing attention. Therefore, we propose surveillance schemes for systemic risk, which allow to detect misspecified systemic risk forecasts in an "online" fashion. This enables daily monitoring of the forecasts while controlling for the accumulation of false test rejections. Such online schemes are vital in taking timely countermeasures to avoid financial distress.…

时间序列分位数与预期短缺回归中的自归一化推断AI 解读

This paper proposes valid inference tools, based on self-normalization, in time series expected shortfall regressions and, as a corollary, also in quantile regressions. Extant methods for such time series regressions, based on a bootstrap or direct estimation of the long-run variance, are computationally more involved, require the choice of tuning parameters and have serious size distortions when the regression errors are strongly serially dependent. In contrast, our…

不利条件下的回归AI 解读

We introduce a new regression method that relates the mean of an outcome variable to covariates, under the "adverse condition" that a distress variable falls in its tail. This allows to tailor classical mean regressions to adverse scenarios, which receive increasing interest in economics and finance, among many others. In the terminology of the systemic risk literature, our method can be interpreted as a regression for the Marginal Expected Shortfall. We propose a two-step…

动态 CoVaR 建模与估计AI 解读

The popular systemic risk measure CoVaR (conditional Value-at-Risk) and its variants are widely used in economics and finance. In this article, we propose joint dynamic forecasting models for the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and CoVaR. The CoVaR version we consider is defined as a large quantile of one variable (e.g., losses in the financial system) conditional on some other variable (e.g., losses in a bank's shares) being in distress. We introduce a two-step M-estimator for the…

如何比较 Copula 预测？AI 解读

This paper lays out a principled approach to compare copula forecasts via strictly consistent scores. We first establish the negative result that, in general, copulas fail to be elicitable, implying that copula predictions cannot sensibly be compared on their own. A notable exception is on Fréchet classes, that is, when the marginal distribution structure is given and fixed, in which case we give suitable scores for the copula forecast comparison. As a remedy for the general…

利用多目标可诱导性回测系统性风险预测AI 解读

Systemic risk measures such as CoVaR, CoES and MES are widely-used in finance, macroeconomics and by regulatory bodies. Despite their importance, we show that they fail to be elicitable and identifiable. This renders forecast comparison and validation, commonly summarised as `backtesting', impossible. The novel notion of \emph{multi-objective elicitability} solves this problem. Specifically, we propose Diebold--Mariano type tests utilising two-dimensional scores equipped…

基于极端依赖的时间序列模型设定检验AI 解读

We propose a specification test for conditional location--scale models based on extremal dependence properties of the standardized residuals. We do so comparing the left-over serial extremal dependence -- as measured by the pre-asymptotic tail copula -- with that arising under serial independence at different lags. Our main theoretical results show that the proposed Portmanteau-type test statistics have nuisance parameter-free asymptotic limits. The test statistics are easy…

测量误差下的相同条件预测能力检验AI 解读

Loss functions are widely used to compare several competing forecasts. However, forecast comparisons are often based on mismeasured proxy variables for the true target. We introduce the concept of exact robustness to measurement error for loss functions and fully characterize this class of loss functions as the Bregman class. For such exactly robust loss functions, forecast loss differences are on average unaffected by the use of proxy variables and, thus, inference on…
