34 Conclusions of Part I Part 1: Assess model risk for variance of a portfolio of risks with given marginals but partially known dependence. Same method applies to TVaR (expected Shortfall) or any risk measure that satisfies convex order (but not for Value-at-Risk). Challenges: Choosing the trusted area F N too small: possible to improve the efficiency of the algorithm by re-discretizing using the fitted marginal ˆf i. Possible to amplify the tails of the marginals Carole Bernard Risk Aggregation with Dependence Uncertainty 31
35 Part II Another application of the Rearrangement Algorithm VaR aggregation with dependence uncertainty Maximum Value-at-Risk is not caused by the comonotonic scenario. Maximum Value-at-Risk is achieved when the variance is minimum in the tail. The RA is then used in the tails only. Bounds on Value-at-Risk at high confidence level stay wide even when the trusted area covers 98% of the space! Carole Bernard Risk Aggregation with Dependence Uncertainty 32
