Generalized Pareto distributions (GPD) are widely used for modeling excesses over high thresholds (within the framework of the POT-approach to modeling extremes). The aim of the paper is to give the review of the classical techniques for estimating GPD quantiles, and to apply these methods in finance - to estimate the Value-at-Risk (VaR) parameter, and discuss certain difficulties related to this subject.

In this article, the estimation of [Formula: see text] is considered when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two independent generalized Pareto distributions. The maximum likelihood estimators and Bayes estimators of [Formula: see text] are obtained based on record values. The Asymptotic distributions are also obtained together with the corresponding confidence interval of [Formula: see text]. AMS 2000 subject classification: 90B25

Evaluating Forecasts

<p>Evaluating forecasts of risk measures, such as value–at–risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES), is an important process for financial institutions. Backtesting procedures were introduced to assess the efficiency of these forecasts. In this paper, we compare the empirical power of new classes of backtesting, for VaR and ES, from the statistical literature. Further, we employ these procedures to evaluate the efficiency of the forecasts generated by both the Historical Simulation method and two methods based on the Generalized Pareto Distribution. To evaluate VaR forecasts, the empirical power of the Geometric–VaR class of backtesting was, in general, higher than that of other tests in the simulated scenarios. This supports the advantages of using defined time periods and covariates in the test procedures. On the other hand, to evaluate ES forecasts, backtesting methods based on the conditional distribution of returns to the VaR performed well with large sample sizes. Additionally, we show that the method based on the generalized Pareto distribution using durations and covariates has optimal performance in forecasts of VaR and ES, according to backtesting.</p>

The capital market is one of long-term investment alternative. One of the traded products is stock, including sharia stock. The risk measurement is an important thing for investor in other that can decrease investment loss. One of the popular methods now is Value at Risk (VaR). There are many financial data that have heavy tailed, because of extreme values, so Value at Risk Generalized Pareto Distribution is used for this case. This research also result a Matlab GUI programming application that can help users to measure the VaR. The purpose of this research is to analyze VaR with GPD approach with GUI Matlab for helping the computation in sharia stock. The data that is used in this case are PT XL Axiata Tbk, PT Waskita Karya (Persero) Tbk, dan PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Tbk on January, 2nd 2017 until May, 31st 2017. The results of VaRGPD are: EXCL single stock VaR 8,76% of investment, WSKT single stock VaR 4% of investment, CPIN single stock VaR 5,86% of investment, 2 assets portfolio (EXCL and WSKT) 4,09% of investment, 2 assets portfolio (EXCL and CPIN) 5,28% of investment, 2 assets portfolio (WSKT and CPIN) 3,68% of investment, and 3 assets portfolio (EXCL, WSKT, and CPIN) 3,75% of investment. It can be concluded that the portfolios more and more, the risk is smaller. It is because the possibility of all stocks of the company dropped together is small. Keywords: Generalized Pareto Distribution, Value at Risk, Graphical User Interface, sharia stock

Background and objective: Crude oil is an essential commodity in many countries of the world. This work studies the risk involved in the extreme crude oil price, using the daily crude oil price of the Brent and the West Texas benchmark from year 1990 to 2019. Materials and methods: The Peak Over Threshold (POT) approach of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) was used to model the extreme crude oil price while the value at risk and the expected shortfall was used to quantify the risk involved in extreme price of crude oil. The GPD, using the Q-Q plot was found to be a good model for the extreme values of the crude oil price. Results: The Value at Risk (VaR) and the Expected Shortfall (ES) calculated at 90%, 95% and 99% with the Maximum Likelihood estimators of GPD parameters and the threshold values were found to decrease with increase in quantile for both benchmark. This shows that risk involved in extreme crude oil price will be borne only by the investors and public. Conclusion: It was also found that the VaR and ES of the Brent are higher than that of West Texas. This implies that it is safer to invest in West Texas crude oil.

Perkembangan sektor perbankan di Indonesia dalam 10 tahun mengalami pertumbuhan yang agresif, tetapi juga memperhatikan rasio modal berdasarkan risiko sesuai dengan ketentuan otoritas. Bank BUMN di Indonesia menguasasi ?45% dari total aset pada sektor perbankan, dan memiliki rasio penyediaan modal minimum yang lebih tinggi dari yang disyaratkan otoritas. Penelitian in imembahas perhitungan VaR dengan metode GEV dan GPD, serta membandingkannya dengan rasio penyediaan modal minimum bank. Hasil perhitungan dengan menggunakan metode GPD paling mendekati nilai rasio modal bank, selain itu kedua hasil perhitungan baik GEV dan GPD lebih tinggi saat dibandingkan dengan perhitungan VaR dengan metode lainnya ataupun ketentuan yang ditetapkan oleh otoritas.

Critical Issues

Techniques used to analyze exceedances over a high threshold are in great demand for research in economics, environmental science, and other fields. The generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) has been widely used to fit observations exceeding the tail threshold in the peaks over threshold (POT) framework. Parameter estimation and threshold selection are two critical issues for threshold-based GPD inference. In this work, we propose a new GPD-based estimation approach by combining the method of moments and likelihood moment techniques based on the least squares concept, in which the shape and scale parameters of the GPD can be simultaneously estimated. To analyze extreme data, the proposed approach estimates the parameters by minimizing the sum of squared deviations between the theoretical GPD function and its expectation. Additionally, we introduce a recently developed stopping rule to choose the suitable threshold above which the GPD asymptotically fits the exceedances. Simulation studies show that the proposed approach performs better or similar to existing approaches, in terms of bias and the mean square error, in estimating the shape parameter. In addition, the performance of three threshold selection procedures is assessed by estimating the value-at-risk (VaR) of the GPD. Finally, we illustrate the utilization of the proposed method by analyzing air pollution data. In this analysis, we also provide a detailed guide regarding threshold selection.
