A Framework for Measures of Risk under Uncertainty
@article{Fadina2021AFF, title={A Framework for Measures of Risk under Uncertainty}, author={Tolulope Fadina and Yang Liu and Ruodu Wang}, journal={SSRN Electronic Journal}, year={2021} }
A risk analyst assesses potential financial losses based on multiple sources of information. Often, the assessment does not only depend on the specification of the loss random variable, but also various economic scenarios. Motivated by this observation, we design a unified axiomatic framework for risk evaluation principles which quantifies jointly a loss random variable and a set of plausible probabilities. We call such an evaluation principle a generalized risk measure. We present a series of…

This work describes the subjective notion of risk by means of a risk order and focuses on the context invariant features of diversification and monotonicity, which allows for a differentiated interpretation depending on the underlying context that is illustrated in different settings.

It is shown that, in general, a robust optimal allocation exists if and only if none of the underlying risk measures is a VaR, and several novel advantages of ES over VaR from the perspective of a regulator are revealed.
