Organizing Committee: José Blanchet, Mark Brown, Lorán Chollete, and Victor de la Peña DATE: June 7 – 10, 2016 LOCATION: Columbia University, Statistics Department (1255 Amsterdam Avenue, Room 903, 9th Floor) Dependence Workshop: June 7 – 8 (11:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM) Instructor, Professor Alex McNeil http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~mcneil/ Thursday, June 9: Session 1 10:30 – 11:30 Alex McNeil http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~mcneil/ Title: “Backtesting Trading Book Models with Realized p-Values” Abstract: The outcome of the “Fundamental Review of the Trading Book” is that the capital requirement for banks using an internal model approach for their trading books will be based on the expected shortfall (ES) risk measure. However, the process of gaining internal model approval will continue to be based on backtesting value-at-risk (VaR) estimates at the 99% level and the approval process will be extended to individual trading desk level; desks that submit unsatisfactory backtest results may...
