On approximations of Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall involving kurtosis
We derive new approximations for the Value at Risk and the Expected Shortfall at high levels of loss distributions with positive skewness and excess kurtosis, and we describe their precisions for notable ones such as for exponential, Pareto type I, lognormal and compound (Poisson) distributions. Our approximations are motivated by that kind of extensions of the so-called Normal Power Approximation, used for approximating the cumulative distribution function of a random variable, which incorporate not only the skewness but the kurtosis of the random variable in question as well. We show the performance of our approximations in numerical examples and we also give comparisons with some known ones in the literature.

Asymptotic Error Analysis of Multilevel Stochastic Approximations for the Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall
Cr\'epey, Frikha, and Louzi (2023) introduced a nested stochastic approximation algorithm and its multilevel acceleration to compute the value-at-risk and expected shortfall of a random financial loss. We hereby establis…
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 …
Relative Bound and Asymptotic Comparison of Expectile with Respect to Expected Shortfall
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…
Expected Shortfall is jointly elicitable with Value at Risk - Implications for backtesting
In this note, we comment on the relevance of elicitability for backtesting risk measure estimates. In particular, we propose the use of Diebold-Mariano tests, and show how they can be implemented for Expected Shortfall (…
The ineffectiveness of coherent risk measures
We show that coherent risk measures are ineffective in curbing the behaviour of investors with limited liability or excessive tail-risk seeking behaviour if the market admits statistical arbitrage opportunities which we …
