摘要

Value-at-Risk (VaR) has evolved as one of the most prominent measures of downside risk in financial markets. Zhang and Cheng [M.-H. Zhang, Q.-S. Cheng, An Approach to VaR for capital markets with Gaussian mixture, Applied Mathematics and Computation 168 (2005) 1079-1085] proposed an approach to VaR for daily returns based on Gaussian mixtures, which have become rather popular in empirical economics and finance since the seminal paper of Hamilton [J.D. Hamilton, A new approach to the economic analysis of nonstationary time series and the business cycle, Econometrica 57 (2) (1989) 357-384]. However, they do not conduct tests to assess the accuracy of the mixture-implied VaR measures. Recently, Guidolin and Timmermann [M. Guidolin, A. Timmermann, Term structure of risk under alternative econometric specifications, Journal of Econometrics, 131 (2006) 285-308] showed that Markov mixture models do well in measuring VaR at a monthly frequency, but the results may not hold for daily returns due to their more pronounced non-Gaussian features. This paper provides an extensive application of various Markov mixture models to VaR for daily returns of major European stock markets, including out-of-sample backtesting. To accommodate the properties of daily returns, we consider both Gaussian and Student's t mixtures, and we compare the performance of both uni- and multivariate models under different parameter updating schemes. We find that a univariate mixture of two Student's t distributions performs best overall. However, by the example of the recent turmoil in financial markets, we also highlight a weak point of the approach.

Guidolin,A. Timmermann,《替代计量经济学规范下的风险期限结构》,《计量经济学杂志》,131(2006)285-308]显示,马尔可夫混合模型在按月频率测量VaR方面表现良好,但每天的结果可能不成立归因于其更明显的非高斯特征。本文将各种马尔可夫混合模型广泛应用于VaR,以提供主要欧洲股票市场的每日收益,包括样本外回测。为了适应日收益率的属性,我们同时考虑了高斯和学生的t混合,并比较了在不同参数更新方案下单变量和多元模型的性能。我们发现,两个学生t分布的单变量混合总体上表现最佳。但是,以最近金融市场动荡为例,我们也强调了该方法的不足。
