摘 要: In to the recent Basel Accords, the Expected Shortfall (ES) has replaced the Value-at-Risk (VaR) as the standard risk measure for market risk in the banking sector, making it the most popular risk measure in financial regulation. Although ES is, among many other nice properties, a coherent risk measure, it does not yet have an axiomatic foundation. In this paper we put forward four intuitive economic axioms for portfolio risk assessment - monotonicity, law invariance, prudence and no reward for concentration - that uniquely characterize the family of ES. The herein developed results, therefore, provide the first economic foundation for using ES as a globally dominating regulatory risk measure, currently employed in Basel III/IV. Key to the main results, several novel notions such as tail events and risk concentration naturally arise, and we explore them in detail. This talk is based on joint work with Ricardas Zitikis.
