About This Webinar

In this webinar, measures of downside risks, namely, Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) in univariate and multivariate settings will be presented. Pros and cons of each method will be discussed with illustrations using coding in R. Next, backtesting for several models, including volatility based exponentially moving average (EWMA) and generalized conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) will be illustrated. Finally, longer-term risks such as systemic risk will be introduced. Participants will become familiar with various VaR methods and backtesting.
