Quantiles under ambiguity and risk sharing
Choquet capacities and integrals are central concepts in decision making under ambiguity or model uncertainty, pioneered by Schmeidler. Motivated by risk optimization problems for quantiles under ambiguity, we study the subclass of Choquet integrals, called Choquet quantiles, which generalizes the usual (probabilistic) quantiles, also known as Value-at-Risk in finance, from probabilities to capacities. Choquet quantiles share many features with probabilistic quantiles, in terms of axiomatic representation, optimization formulas, and risk sharing. We characterize Choquet quantiles via only one axiom, called ordinality. We prove that the inf-convolution of Choquet quantiles is again a Choquet quantile, leading to explicit optimal allocations in risk sharing problems for quantile agents under ambiguity. A new class of risk measures, Choquet Expected Shortfall, is introduced, which enjoys most properties of the coherent risk measure Expected Shortfall. Our theory is complemented by optimization algorithms, numerical examples, and a stylized illustration with financial data.

Model Ambiguity in Risk Sharing with Monotone Mean-Variance
We consider the problem of an agent who faces losses over a finite time horizon and may choose to share some of these losses with a counterparty. The agent is uncertain about the true loss distribution and has multiple m…
Robust Lambda-quantiles and extremal distributions
In this paper, we investigate the robust models for $\Lambda$-quantiles with partial information regarding the loss distribution, where $\Lambda$-quantiles extend the classical quantiles by replacing the fixed probabilit…
An axiomatization of $Λ$-quantiles
We give an axiomatic foundation to $\Lambda$-quantiles, a family of generalized quantiles introduced by Frittelli et al. (2014) under the name of Lambda Value at Risk. Under mild assumptions, we show that these functiona…
Conditional generalized quantiles based on expected utility model and equivalent characterization of properties
As a counterpart to the (static) risk measures of generalized quantiles and motivated by Bellini et al. (2018), we propose a new kind of conditional risk measure called conditional generalized quantiles. We first show th…
Risk contributions of lambda quantiles
Risk contributions of portfolios form an indispensable part of risk adjusted performance measurement. The risk contribution of a portfolio, e.g., in the Euler or Aumann-Shapley framework, is given by the partial derivati…
