Abstract

VaR is used extensively as a tool for risk management by financial institutions. For convenience, the normal distribution is usually assumed for the measurement of VaR, but recently the method using extreme value theory is attracted for more accurate VaR estimation. So far, GEV and GPD models are used for probability models of EVT for the VaR estimation. In this paper, the PP model is suggested for improved VaR estimation as compared to the traditonal EV models such as GEV and GPD models. In view of the stochastic process, the PP model is regarded as a generalized model which include GEV and GPD models. In the empirical analysis, the PP model is shown to be superior to GEV and GPD models for the performance of VaR estimation.

금융위험의 위험관리를 위한 도구로서 현재 VaR가 널리 이용되고 있다. VaR의 측정은 사용의 편리상 정규분포를 가정하여 이루어져 왔으나 좀 더 정확한 VaR의 산출을 위해 최근 극단치이론을 이용한 추정방법이 관심을 끌고 있다. 지금까지 극단치이론을 이용하여 VaR의 추정을 위한 확률모형에는 주로 GEV모형과 GPD모형이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 EV모형이 갖는 문제점들을 극복하고 좀 더 정확한 VaR를 측정하기위한 노력으로 PP모형을 제시하였다. PP모형은 확률과정의 관점에서 GEV모형과 GPD모형을 포괄하는 모형으로서 기존의 EV모형을 일반화시키는 모형이라고 할 수 있다. PP모형이 기존의 정규분포와 두 EV모형에 비해 VaR추정의 성과가 우수함을 실증분석을 통해 보여주었다.
