2 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Exected shortfall of a asset robability level is X at ( ( )) E X X F where F ( x) : = P{ X x} ad X X F X the iverse fuctio of F. X 2

3 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 A ba holds a ortfolio i i R = i yr Exected shortfall at robability level ( ) E R R< VaR Ca be decomosed as i ( VaR ) ye R R< i i The sesitivity to the i-th asset is ( VaR ) E R R< (is margial exected shortfall i this case) i 3

4 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 More geerally: Cosider a radom vector ( X, Y ) Margial exected shortfall (MES) of X at level is ( > ( )) E X Y F (these are losses hece Y big is bad). All these are ris measures i.e. characteristics that are idicative of the ris a ba occurs uder stress coditios. Y 4

5 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 We are iterested i MES uder excetioal stress coditios of the id that have occurred very rarely or eve ot at all. This is the id of situatio where extreme value ca hel. ( > ) E X Y F We wat to estimate ( ) for small o the basis of i.i.d. observatios X, Y, X, Y,, X, Y ( ) ( ) ( ) 2 2 ad we wat to rove that the estimator has good roerties. Y 5

6 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Whe we say that we wat to study a situatio that has hardly ever occurred, this meas that we eed to cosider the case i.e., whe a o-arametric estimator is imossible, sice we eed to extraolate. O the other had we wat to obtai a limit result, as (the umber of observatios) goes to ifiity. Sice the iequality to assume = ad = O( ) as. is essetial, we the have 6

7 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Note that a arametric model i this situatio is also ot realistic: The model is geerally chose to fit well i the cetral art of the distributio but we are iterested i the (far) tail where the model may ot be valid. Hece it is better to let the tail sea for itself. This is the semi-arametric aroach of extremevalue theory. 7

8 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Notatio: (t big ad small, t = ) () t : = F X t () t : = F 2 Y t θ : = E X Y > 2 MES 8

9 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 θ P X x, Y dx > > 2 0 E X Y 2 P Y > 2 = > = = P X > x, Y > dx 2 0 = P X x, Y dx 2 > > 0 i.e., θ = P X x, Y dx 2 > > 0 9

10 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202. We cosider the limit of this as 0 Coditios (): First ote (tae x = ustairs) P X >, Y > 2 = P F X <, F Y < { ( ) ( ) } 2 where F ad F are the distributio fuctios of 2 X ad Y. This is a coula. 0

11 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 : We imose coditios o the coula as 0 Suose there exists a ositive fuctio R( x, y ) (the deedece fuctio i the tail) such that for all 0 xy,, x y > 0, x y< x y lim P X >, Y R x, y 0 2 > = ( ) lim P F X <, F Y < R x, y 0 2 = x y ( ) ( ) ( ). i.e.,

12 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 This coditio idicates ad secifies deedece secifically i the tail. (usual coditio i extreme value theory) (2): Comare: i the defiitio of θ we have P X > x, Y > 2 ad i the coditio we have (for y = ) x P X >, Y > 2. 2

13 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 I order to coect the two we imose a secod coditio, o the tail of X : for x > 0 P X > tx lim t P X > t { } { } Where γ is a ositive arameter. = x γ. This secod coditio imlies a similar coditio for the quatile fuctio () t = F t amely lim t tx t ( ) () x > 0. γ = x ( ) 3

14 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 P X t We say that { > } is regularly varyig at ifiity with idex γ (. ) regularly varyig, with idex γ. RV ad γ (usual coditio is extreme value theory) is also These two coditios are the basic coditios of oe-dimesioal extreme value theory. 4

15 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Examles: Studet distributio, Cauchy distributio. It is quite geerally acceted that most fiacial data satisfy this coditio. Sufficiet coditio: F ( t) ct γ = + lower order owers. der these coditios we get the first result: 5

16 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 > θ = = E X Y 2 R x dx ( ) γ lim lim, Hece θ goes to ifiity as 0 at the same rate as, the value-at-ris for X. Now we go to statistics ad loo at how to θ. estimate 6

17 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 We do that i stages: First we estimate θ where = ( ), ( ) 0 as. Clearly we ca estimate θ o-arametrically (it is just iside the samle). The secod stage will be the extraolatio from θ to θ with. For the time beig we suose that X is a ositive radom variable. 7

18 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 θ = E X Y > Recall 2 by First ste: relace quatile ( ) 2 corresodig samle quatile, statistic from above). The obvious estimator of θ is the θ X { Y > Y } i, i= : = = X { } > PY 2 i i= Y ( th order. { > } i Y Y i, 8

19 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 First result: der some stregtheig of our coditios (relatig to R ad to the sequece ( ) ) θ θ d Θ, a ormal radom variable that we describe ow. 9

20 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Bacgroud of limit result is our assumtio lim P F X <, F Y < R x, y 0 2 = x y Now defie ( ) V ( ) ( ) ( ). : = F X W : = F Y. 2 ( ) V ad W have a uiform distributio, their joit distributio is a coula. 20

21 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Now cosider the i.i.d. r.v. s,, ( VW) = F( X) F( Y) ( i ) i i i 2 i i=. Emirical distributio fuctio: { V x, W y} i i We cosider the lower tail of ( VW ) i.e., the higher X, Y. tail for ( ) i i That is why we relace ( x, y ) by, xy>, 0 defie the tail versio T ( x, y) : = i= Vi, Wi x y i, i x y ad for 2

22 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202, Now T ( X Y ) is close to its mea which is P F ( X), F ( Y) 2 x y ad this is close to R( x, y. ) P T x, y R x, y Hece ( ) ( ) ad eve better T x, y R x, y ( ( ) ( )) coverges i distributio to a mea zero Gaussia rocess W ( x, y ) (i D- sace).

23 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 This stochastic rocess W ( x, y ) has ideedet icremets that is, EW x, y W x, y = R x x, y y R R ( ) ( ) ( ) R ad i articular Var W x, y = R x, y. R ( ) ( ) 23

24 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Formulated i a differet way: Idex the rocess by itervals: ( ) ( ) R W 0, x 0, y : = W x, y ( ) ( ) R The for two itervals I ad I 2 (abuse of otatio) ( ) ( ) ( ) R R EW I W I = R I I

29 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Last ste: extraolatio from to θ (iside the samle) θ (outside the samle). Agai we use the reasoig tyical for extreme value theory. 29

30 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Cosider our first (o-statistical) result agai: lim, 0 E X Y > 2 R( = x ) γ dx 0 I articular this holds for = i.e. E X Y 2 R( = x ) γ dx 0 lim, >. 30

31 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 Combie the two: θ = E X Y > 2 E X Y θ > = 2. 3

32 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 This leads to a estimate for θ θ = θ : Here θ is the estimator we discussed before ad = X, as before. 32

33 Estimatio of the margial exected shortfall Laures de Haa, Poitiers, 202 It remais to defie ad to study = as. Now with is a oe-dimesioal object (oly coected with X, ot Y ). Such quatile is beyod the scoe of the samle. Recall our coditio: P{ X > t} R.V. which imlies 33
