On the coherence of expected shortfall (2002)

Carlo Acerbi, Dirk Tasche

Expected Shortfall (ES) in several variants has been proposed as remedy for the deficiencies of Value-at-Risk (VaR) which in general is not a coherent risk measure. In fact, most definitions of ES...

Expected Shortfall: a natural coherent alternative to Value at Risk (2002)

Carlo Acerbi, Dirk Tasche

We discuss the coherence properties of Expected Shortfall (ES) as a nancial risk measure. This statistic arises in a natural way from the estimation of the \average of the 100p% worst losses...

Expected Shortfall (ES) in several variants has been proposed as remedy for the de-ciencies of Value-at-Risk (VaR) which in general is not a coherent risk measure. In fact, most denitions of ES lead...

Expected Shortfall: a natural coherent alternative to Value at Risk (2002)

Carlo Acerbi, Dirk Tasche

We discuss the coherence properties of Expected Shortfall (ES) as a financial risk measure. This statistic arises in a natural way from the estimation of the “average of the 100p% worst losses ”...

On the coherence of expected shortfall (2002)

Carlo Acerbi, Dirk Tasche

1 Introduction Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk measure is heavily criticized for not being sub-additive (see [7] for an overview of the criticism). This means that the risk of a portfolio can be larger...

Risk Aversion and Coherent Risk Measures: a Spectral Representation Theorem (2001)

Acerbi, Carlo

We study a space of coherent risk measures M_phi obtained as certain expansions of coherent elementary basis measures. In this space, the concept of ``Risk Aversion Function'' phi naturally arises as...

Expected Shortfall: a natural coherent alternative to Value at Risk (2001)

Acerbi, Carlo, Tasche, Dirk

We discuss the coherence properties of Expected Shortfall (ES) as a financial risk measure. This statistic arises in a natural way from the estimation of the "average of the 100p % worst losses" in a...

On the coherence of Expected Shortfall (2001)

Acerbi, Carlo, Tasche, Dirk

Expected Shortfall (ES) in several variants has been proposed as remedy for the defi-ciencies of Value-at-Risk (VaR) which in general is not a coherent risk measure. In fact, most definitions of ES...

Expected Shortfall as a Tool for Financial Risk Management (2001)

Acerbi, Carlo, Nordio, Claudio, Sirtori, Carlo

We study the properties of Expected Shortfall from the point of view of financial risk management. This measure --- which emerges as a natural remedy in some cases where Value at Risk (VaR) is not...

Liquidity risk theory and coherent measures of risk

Carlo Acerbi, Giacomo Scandolo

We discuss liquidity risk from a pure risk-theoretical point of view in the axiomatic context of coherent measures of risk. We propose a formalism for liquidity risk that is compatible with the...
