On Design of Representative Distributionally Robust Formulations for Evaluation of Tail Risk Measures

This paper introduces a robust method for evaluating Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) when data distribution can't be simulated. Using rolling data windows as proxies for independent samples, the approach effectively assesses worst-case risk. Applied to Danish fire insurance data, it outperformed traditional DRO (distributional risk optimization) methods—achieving accurate, less conservative estimates in 87% of cases. This advancement enables reliable risk management even with limited tail data. Future research will focus on refining robustness guarantees and integrating extreme value theory into decision-making models involving rare but impactful events.

Estimation of Generalized Tail Distortion Risk Measures with Applications in Reinsurance

New estimators for generalized tail distortion (GTD) risk measures are proposed, based on first-order asymptotic expansions, offering simplicity and comparable or better performance than existing methods. A reinsurance premium principle using GTD risk measure is tested on car insurance claims data, suggesting its effectiveness in embedding safety loading in pricing to counter statistical uncertainty.
