ISOR Colloquium

"On systemic risk and Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR)"
Speaker: Piotr Jaworski (Univ. Warsaw)

Lecture Hall 12 (2nd floor)
Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna

Vortrag


Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR) is a measure of influence of a risk factor X on some financial position Y. It was introduced by T.Adrian and M.Brunnermeier in 2008 to quantify how the poor performance of one institution is affecting the other one. As well, it can be applied to compare markets, asset prices and other financial data. The idea is to measure Value at Risk of Y conditioned on X, where random variables X and Y are modelling some financial positions. In my talk I will discuss the possibility of detecting the sources of systemic risk with the help of CoVaR.
