Range Value-at-Risk: Multivariate and Extreme Values (2005.12473v1)

Abstract: The concept of univariate Range Value-at-Risk, presented by Cont et al. (2010), is extended in the multidimensional setting. Traditional risk measures are not well suited when dealing with heavy-tail distributions and infinite tail expectations. The multivariate definitions of robust truncated tail expectations are provided to overcome this problem. Robustness and other properties as well as empirical estimators are derived. Closed-form expressions and special cases in the extreme value framework are also discussed. Numerical and graphical examples are provided to examine the accuracy of the empirical estimators.
