SUMMARY:New runs-based approach to testing value at risk forecasts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Marta Malecka\, Dept. of Statistical Methods\, Univ. of Lodz\, Lodz\, Poland \nAbstract: The reformed Basel framework has left value at risk (VaR) as a basic tool of validating risk models. Within this framework\, VaR independence tests have been regarded as critical to ensuring stability during periods of financial turmoil. However\, until now\, there is no consent among researchers regarding the choice of the appropriate test. The available procedures are either inaccurate in finite samples or need to rely on Monte Carlo simulations. To remedy these problems\, we propose a new method for testing VaR models\, based on the distribution of the number of runs. It outperforms the existing methods in two main aspects: First\, it is exact in finite samples and thus allows for perfect control over the Type 1 error; second\, its distribution is available in a closed form\, so it does not require simulations before implementation. We show that it is the most adequate current procedure for testing low-level VaR series\, which corresponds to today’s regulatory standards.
