Expected Shortfall LASSO
We propose an $\ell_1$-penalized estimator for high-dimensional models of Expected Shortfall (ES). The estimator is obtained as the solution to a least-squares problem for an auxiliary dependent variable, which is defined as a transformation of the dependent variable and a pre-estimated tail quantile. Leveraging a sparsity condition, we derive a nonasymptotic bound on the prediction and estimator errors of the ES estimator, accounting for the estimation error in the dependent variable, and provide conditions under which the estimator is consistent. Our estimator is applicable to heavy-tailed time-series data and we find that the amount of parameters in the model may grow with the sample size at a rate that depends on the dependence and heavy-tailedness in the data. In an empirical application, we consider the systemic risk measure CoES and consider a set of regressors that consists of nonlinear transformations of a set of state variables. We find that the nonlinear model outperforms an unpenalized and untransformed benchmark considerably.

Fused LASSO as Non-Crossing Quantile Regression
Growth-at-Risk is vital for empirical macroeconomics but is often suspect to quantile crossing due to data limitations. While existing literature addresses this through post-processing of the fitted quantiles, these meth…

Expectile bears some interesting properties in comparison to the industry wide expected shortfall in terms of assessment of tail risk. We study the relationship between expectile and expected shortfall using duality resu…
Probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and higher-order Expected Shortfalls
We investigate the probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and $n^{\mathrm{th}}$-order Expected Shortfall (called PELVE_n), which can be considered as a variant of the notion of the probability equivalent level of …
Adjusted Expected Shortfall
We introduce and study the main properties of a class of convex risk measures that refine Expected Shortfall by simultaneously controlling the expected losses associated with different portions of the tail distribution. …
PositionAn elementary proof of the dual representation of Expected Shortfall
We provide an elementary proof of the dual representation of Expected Shortfall on the space of integrable random variables over a general probability space. Unlike the results in the extant literature, our proof only ex…
