Robustness and sensitivity analysis of risk measurement procedures

R Cont, R Deguest, G Scandolo - Quantitative finance, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
… We denote by 𝒟 the (convex) set of cumulative distribution functions (cdf) on . The
distribution of a random variable X is denoted F X ∈ 𝒟, and we write X ∼ F if F X = F. The Lévy …

Loss-based risk measures

R Cont, R Deguest, XD He - Statistics & Risk Modeling, 2013 - degruyter.com
Starting from the requirement that risk of financial portfolios should be measured in terms of
their losses, not their gains, we define the notion of loss-based risk measure and study the …

[BOOK][B] Risk parity and beyond-from asset allocation to risk allocation decisions

R Deguest, L Martellini, A Meucci - 2013 - top1000funds.com
… The ENB measure relies on the choice of N uncorrelated factors, whose returns can easily
be expressed as rF = A r, where r is the vector of constituents’ returns and A is a square matrix …

Default intensities implied by CDO spreads: inversion formula and model calibration

R Cont, R Deguest, YH Kan - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2010 - SIAM
We propose a simple computational method for constructing an arbitrage-free collateralized
debt obligation (CDO) pricing model which matches a prespecified set of CDO tranche …

Equity correlations implied by index options: estimation and model uncertainty analysis

R Cont, R Deguest - Mathematical Finance: An International …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We propose a method for constructing an arbitrage‐free multiasset pricing model which is
