Nonparametric Expectile Shortfall Regression for Complex Functional Structure

This paper treats the problem of risk management through a new conditional expected shortfall function. The new risk metric is defined by the expectile as the shortfall threshold. A nonparametric estimator based on the Nadaraya-Watson approach is constructed. The asymptotic property of the constructed estimator is established using a functional time-series structure. We adopt some concentration inequalities to fit this complex structure and to precisely determine the convergence rate of the estimator. The easy implantation of the new risk metric is shown through real and simulated data. Specifically, we show the feasibility of the new model as a risk tool by examining its sensitivity to the fluctuation in financial time-series data. Finally, a comparative study between the new shortfall and the standard one is conducted using real data.
