Modeling of extreme events and stress testing analysis - Ronny Suarez

In this book we estimated value at risk and return level using extreme value theory as an alternative mechanism to generate stress scenarios. The methodology is applied to S&P 500 Index and to dollar / euro exchange rate. Additionally, the estimation of a generalized extreme value distribution or a generalized pareto distribution combined with the mixing unconditional disturbances model is developed as a tool that can be used to create values for sensitivity test purpose.
