Abstract:

The expected shortfall is a popular risk measure in financial risk management. It is defined as the expected loss on a portfolio of financial assets knowing that the loss is larger than a given high quantile. We derive the asymptotic properties of the blocking bootstrap estimators for the expected shortfall of a stationary process under strongly mixing conditions. Results from empirical examples and a small simulation study will also be presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed block bootstrap estimators.
