    Abstract

  • Abstract

    In this paper, we study the worst-case conditional value-at-risk (CoVaR) and conditional expected shortfall (CoES) in a situation where only partial information on the underlying probability distribution is available. In the case of the first two marginal moments are known, the closed-form solution and the value of the worst-case CoVaR and CoES are derived. The worst-case CoVaR and CoES under mean and covariance information are also investigated.

    Graphical abstract

    We construct the above new ambiguity set, then propose the optimization problem of CoVaRand CoES based on this ambiguity set, and give the theoretical results.

    In this paper, we study the worst-case conditional value-at-risk (CoVaR) and conditional expected shortfall (CoES) in a situation where only partial information on the underlying probability distribution is available. In the case of the first two marginal moments are known, the closed-form solution and the value of the worst-case CoVaR and CoES are derived. The worst-case CoVaR and CoES under mean and covariance information are also investigated.

    • Public Summary

    • The relationship between CoVaR, CoES and dependence structure are investigated.
    • In case where the first two marginal moments are known, the closed-form solution and the valueof the worst-case CoVaR and CoES are derived.
    • The worst-case CoVaR and CoES under mean and covariance information are investigated.
