On a multivariate extension for Copula-based Conditional Value at Risk

Abstract: Copula-based Conditional Value at Risk (CCVaR) is defined as an alternative version of the classical Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) for multivariate random vectors intended to be real-valued. We aim to generalize CCVaR to several dimensions (d>=2) when the dependence structure is given by an Archimedean copula. While previous research focused on the bivariate case, leaving the multivariate version unexplored, an almost closed-form expression for CCVaR under an Archimedean copula is derived. The conditions under which this risk measure satisfies coherence are then examined. Finally, numerical experiments based on real data are conducted to estimate CCVaR, and the results are compared with classical measures of Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR).
