Backtesting systemic risk forecasts using multi-objective elicitability

T Fissler, Y Hoga - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Systemic risk measures such as CoVaR, CoES, and MES are widely-used in finance,
macroeconomics and by regulatory bodies. Despite their importance, we show that they fail …

Such forecasts are usually generated by ensembles of numerical weather prediction (NWP) …

[HTML][HTML] Locally tail-scale invariant scoring rules for evaluation of extreme value forecasts

HK Olafsdottir, H Rootzén, D Bolin - International Journal of Forecasting, 2024 - Elsevier
Statistical analysis of extremes can be used to predict the probability of future extreme
