Predicting Exchange Rate Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall: A Neural Network Approach
On the basis of the recommendation of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to transition from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to Expected Shortfall (ES) in determining market risk capital, this paper attempts to investigate whether a Recurrent Neural Network provides more accurate VaR and ES predictions of the EUR/USD exchange rate compared to the conventional GARCH(1,1) model.
