Advances in Heavy Tailed Risk Modeling: A Handbook of Operational Risk (Wiley Handbooks in Financial Engineering and Econometrics)

A cutting-edge guide for the theories, applications, and statistical methodologies essential to heavy tailed risk modeling Focusing on the quantitative aspects of heavy tailed loss processes in operational risk and relevant insurance analytics, Advances in Heavy Tailed Risk Modeling: A Handbook of Operational Risk presents comprehensive coverage of the latest research on the theories and applications in risk measurement and modeling techniques. Featuring a unique balance of mathematical and statistical perspectives, the handbook begins by introducing the motivation for heavy tailed risk processes in high consequence low frequency loss modeling. With a companion, Fundamental Aspects of Operational Risk and Insurance Analytics: A Handbook of Operational Risk , the book provides a complete framework for all aspects of operational risk management and includes: Clear coverage on advanced topics such as splice loss models, extreme value theory, heavy tailed closed form loss distributional approach models, flexible heavy tailed risk models, risk measures, and higher order asymptotic approximations of risk measures for capital estimation An exploration of the characterization and estimation of risk and insurance modelling, which includes sub-exponential models, alpha-stable models, and tempered alpha stable models An extended discussion of the core concepts of risk measurement and capital estimation as well as the details on numerical approaches to evaluation of heavy tailed loss process model capital estimates Numerous detailed examples of real-world methods and practices of operational risk modeling used by both financial and non-financial institutions Advances in Heavy Tailed Risk Modeling: A Handbook of Operational Risk is an excellent reference for risk management practitioners, quantitative analysts, financial engineers, and risk managers. The book is also a useful handbook for graduate-level courses on heavy tailed processes, advanced risk management, and actuarial science.

"A companion book to Fundamental Aspects of Operational Risk Modeling and Insurance Analytics: A Handbook of Operational Risk (2014), this book covers key mathematical and statistical aspects of the quantitative modelling of heavy tailed loss processes in operational risk and insurance settings. This book can add value to the industry by providing clear and detailed coverage of modelling for heavy tailed operational risk losses from both a rigorous mathematical as well as a statistical perspective. Few books cover the range of details provided both the mathematical and statistical features of such models, directly targeting practitioners. The book focuses on providing a sound understanding of how one would mathematically and statistically model, estimate, simulate and validate heavy tailed loss process models in operational risk. Coverage includes advanced topics on risk modelling in high consequence low frequency loss processes. This features splice loss models and motivation for heavy tailed risk processes models. The key aspects of extreme value theory and their development in loss distributional approach modelling is considered. Classification and understanding of different classes of heavy tailed risk process models is discussed, this leads into topics on heavy tailed closed form loss distributional approach models and flexible heavy tailed risk models such as a-stable and tempered stable models. The remainder of the chapters covers advanced topics on risk measures and asymptotics for heavy tailed compound process models. The finishing chapter covers advanced topics including forming links between actuarial compound process recursions and monte carlo numerical solutions for capital and risk measure estimations"-- Provided by publisher
