Conditional Quantile-Located VaR
Last modified: 2018-05-10
Abstract
The Conditional Value-at-Risk (CoVaR) has been proposed by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2015) to measurethe impact of a company in distress on the Value-at-Risk (VaR) of the financialsystem. We propose here an extension of the CoVaR, that is, the ConditionalQuantile-Located VaR (QL-CoVaR), that better deals with tail events, whenspillover effects impact the stability of the entire system. In fact, the QL-CoVaRis estimated by assuming that the financial system and the individual companiessimultaneously lie in the left tails of their distributions.
