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 probability level with a probability/loss function $\Lambda$. We find that, under some assumptions, the robust $\Lambda$-quantiles equal the $\Lambda$-quantiles of the extremal distributions. This finding allows us to obtain the robust $\Lambda$-quantiles by applying the results of robust quantiles in the literature. Our results are applied to uncertainty sets characterized by three different constraints respectively: moment constraints, probability distance constraints via the Wasserstein metric, and marginal constraints in risk aggregation. We obtain some explicit expressions for robust $\Lambda$-quantiles by deriving the extremal distributions for each uncertainty set. These results are applied to optimal portfolio selection under model uncertainty.

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…
Fixed-k Inference for Conditional Extremal Quantiles
We develop a new extreme value theory for repeated cross-sectional and panel data to construct asymptotically valid confidence intervals (CIs) for conditional extremal quantiles from a fixed number $k$ of nearest-neighbo…

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…
A Location-Invariant Estimator of Extremal Quantile Treatment Effects for Heavy-Tailed Distributions
Quantile treatment effects (QTEs) measure the effect of a treatment on the distribution of an outcome, and their estimation at extreme quantile levels is of central interest in applications where the target quantiles lie…
